Story

OUR

Once upon a time there was no Emerson Waldorf School. The wooded area where the school now stands was simply the home of squirrels and birds. But there was one human being in the area who carried the dream of a Waldorf School for many years. Her name was Eve Olive. Then one of Eve’s former eurythmy students, Olga Wierbicki, moved here. Together the two worked to make Waldorf Education better known by sponsoring lectures and workshops and arranging exhibitions of paintings and artwork by other Waldorf students and teachers. This continued for several years. There was interest in a school but no commitment. Then two families arrived with their young children and a knowledge of and enthusiasm for this approach to education – Barbara Shell and Robert and Suzanne Mays. They were determined to give their children a Waldorf education. Together the little group studied and planned and searched for land. At least fifty sites and buildings were examined. The school opened its doors on September 10, 1984, outgrowing three different church buildings before moving to its present location. The East Wing on our first ten acres housed six grades, two kindergartens and an office! Later the house next door with its ten acres was acquired. How does one finance such a project? It has taken some creative approaches over the years. Two different Emerson Waldorf School Support Groups, where parents

OURSchool and friends put their assets on the line to secure a mortgage from the bank. A parent builder willing to wait ten years for repayment of his profit on the building. And generous donations from people one would not describe as wealthy but whose commitment to the project was absolute. Now, 27 years later, the song of birds and the rustle of squirrels have been joined by the laughter of many children. Parents and friends continue to support and celebrate the dream of that little band of founders: A full school – preschool through high school.

But there is much to be done. With your help, this extraordinary story will continue to unfold...

Eye on our Alumni STORY FROM AN ALUMNA Last year I had an extraordinary opportunity to live and work in a north Indian village with Pardada Pardadi Educational Society. I was asked to develop an introductory program for a community of young girls from the very lowest sectors of society; a community whose members had no previous experience of school at all. Even the concepts of time and structure were foreign to them. I cannot imagine how lost I would have been without my nine years at Emerson Waldorf School and my observations of Waldorf kindergarten. The teachers and I created a curriculum and daily schedule that included morning circle, art, naptime, and outdoor games and playtime (even, at times, simply playing in the mud). The biggest challenge in art was learning to share materials. In morning circle, the girls became aware of the appropriate time to be noisy and when to sit quietly. Every morning I greeted each student by looking her in the eye, shaking her hand, and acknowledging her presence, the same way I was welcomed into the classroom by my class teacher. Now, whenever the school has visitors, my girls are the first to offer greetings, often showing off the simple English phrases they know. I recall how my classmates and I often joked, “Only at Waldorf do we open an English class with a song, study plants at the school farm through botanical drawing, read Thoreau for a science class, or play ultimate frisbee and eat s’mores with our teachers.” Or so I thought. Since beginning my first year at Wellesley College this fall, I’ve done all this and even relived a tenth grade moment when I observed a

OBSERVATIONS FROM A PARENT As a Waldorf parent of three, over the years I've encountered the question, "But you don't teach serious math and science in the high school, do you?" The inference is that Waldorf kids are somehow disadvantaged when it comes to "real" subjects. I always chuckle inwardly. My reply is that students do learn those subjects, though differently from traditional high school. Their lesson blocks include thermodynamics, botany, anatomy, surveying, and more. In seminar-style classes where active participation is required, they learn to be truly present

teaching kids to think and have the confidence, resilience, and determination to thrive in any situation... GRAEME IN THE WORLD

300-level class learning to survey. For my college classmates, many of whom come from prestigious boarding schools, this approach to learning is just short of a revelation. For me, such occurrences are simply an extension of my Waldorf education. This year, the Princeton Review recognized Wellesley College for having the best faculty in the nation. I have learned, however, that during high school many of my fellow first-year students never interacted with their teachers and are now reluctant to visit professors during office hours or to simply say “Hello” when passing a teacher on campus. From my perspective, these students are missing important opportunities. In our tight-knit Waldorf community, connecting with teachers, parents, and visiting adults is commonplace and has proven to be enormously helpful to me as I navigate the sometimes shaky ground of making the most of my opportunities, and appreciating perspectives of people from different walks of life. As I continue to move forward, I am only beginning to realize the richness of my nine years at EWS. I anticipate I will have many more opportunities to appreciate how helpful those years were, and to reap the rewards of such an educational experience. Graeme Durovich, EWS Class of 2010

READY FOR ANYTHING in any type of class. Waldorf high school launches them as multifaceted people equipped to continue a lifelong love of learning, independent thinking, empathy, and respect for self and for others whether in arts or sciences. They become musicians, engineers, artists, mathematicians, writers, scientists, actors, craftspeople and more.  Our graduates attend a wide range of colleges from Dartmouth to Duke, Cornell to Johns Hopkins and beyond. They are ready to choose and follow their own paths, and, in Steiner’s words, “impart meaning to their lives.”

It’s All About the Children RICH CURRICULUM INSIDE & OUT A school that understands children as beings of body, soul, and spirit, and guides them to develop compassion and reverence for themselves and the world community.

WALDORF HIGH SCHOOL INSTILLS LOVE OF LEARNING, INDEPENDENT THINKING As for Waldorf stud ents after high school here's one recent example: during their busy senior year, our oldest son and two EWS classmates started a traditional music group with fiddle, mandolin, and guitar. They performed at dances and gigs around Chapel Hill that spring. After graduation, the fiddler embarked on a yearlong journey to work and travel. In India she taught in a girls’ school far from any city. In Finland she scraped hides and smoked fish for a stone-age anthropology experiment. After her travels, she matriculated at Wellesley

College with many tales to tell. The guitar player went to Dartmouth College, enrolling in courses as diverse as art and Arabic before settling on a math major with a term in France on his horizon. The mandolin player ran a sailing school during an Alaskan summer, returned to attend Duke University, started a rock band, sampled different subjects, and chose an earth and ocean sciences major with a minor in physics. Limited? Hardly!
