Title

The Susquehanna Waldorf School in Marietta, Pennsylvania

Description

welcome

Located in the scenic riverside town of Marietta, the Susquehanna Waldorf School draws families from the Lancaster, York and Harrisburg communities and their surrounding counties on both sides of the river. Our lovely old turn-of-the-century building houses parent/child, pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and elementary programs through grade eight.

The Waldorf School offers a broad, comprehensive survey of the knowledge that mankind has gained throughout history. The curriculum is designed to give the child a secure basis in the liberal arts, mathematics, sciences and foreign languages. The fine arts are considered equally essential and are used to bring the student into direct, personal relationship with the subject content. The distinguishing characteristic of the Waldorf curriculum lies in the intent and in the manner of its presentation.

The curriculum is used consciously to address the differing and changing phases that occur in the developing child between the ages of seven and fourteen years. Subjects are introduced at a time and in a way to best facilitate a healthy growth and balance in the child's physical, emotional and intellectual development, and between a growing individualism and a sense for community. For these reasons a firm structure of clear rhythms is provided.
