They learn through immersion with their specials teachers guiding the children in the same way. Our children spend most of their days in school, so it is important they are able to connect with Nature during this time and at PHS they surely do. Their farm and garden staff is fantastic and children learn compassion and responsibility, while strengthening their will power, through caring for their beloved farm animals. Their verses teach them reverence. Bird counting encourages observation. Planting seeds, growing flowers, and food shows them how to care for themselves and the Earth. All learning is age appropriate and really looks at where children are developmentally and how they can be fully nourished, body, soul, and spirit. My son is currently in first grade and has truly found happiness here. Everyday he wakes up dawn's first light, dresses himself, and is eager to go to school. When I ask him if there was anything not so great about his day, he replies "No, the whole day was GREAT!" We have had superb communication with his teacher and the whole faculty. Our son is truly seen and cared for individually in this beautiful, nurturing community.

When she made the transition to "normal" high school -- she was more than well prepared and flourished in arts, math, and science. So I was thrilled to attend the recent 8th grade graduation of her daughter from HVWS. The ceremony beamed with the vitality, humanity, artistic breadth, and deep caring that make Waldorf education what it is. Seeing this next generation so prepared to move to the next phase of their lives was deeply inspiring. I am witness to the value that Waldorf education can bring, and Housatonic Valley has it mastered. I couldn't recommend this institution more highly.
