Our School
At TWS, we refer to our unique approach as education from a deeper perspective™. Our students emerge from this education as life long learners, people who are personally centred, strongly connected to humanity and the earth and who know how to think, not just what to think. We create an educational experience that inspires our students to evolve into confident, creative thinkers who are strongly connected to humanity and the environment.
Appreciation of Individuality
At TWS we foster a climate where students are accepted and valued by their teachers and peers for their unique talents and potential. Since every child learns differently, our teachers tailor lessonto meet a variety of learning styles and provide individual support to meet each child’s needs. All children are given concrete feedback and progress is monitored against their unfolding capacities, rather than against other students. This allows students to develop skills and capacities with confidence. Every week our faculties meet to discuss individual students and create opportunities to enhance student learning.
Our Mission
The mission of the Toronto Waldorf School is to meet each student through a unique, challenging educational experience that encourages wonder, fosters inspiration, and leads to fulfillment of life purpose.
Academic Integration
At TWS we plan every learning activity attending to its impact on mind, body and spirit. We understand each one affects the others and all engage in the learning process. Our lessons integrate listening, doing, thinking and speaking to deepen the learning for every student. Our teachers bring our curriculum to life, connecting numerous academic disciplines with hands-on experience to engage your child’s mind and heart in profound ways. Integration of subjects and methodologies and relevance to the real world are fundamental to our approach building academic excellence. It is our experience that nearly 100% of TWS graduates get into a university or other post-secondary program of their choice.
