Principal's Message

Dear Parents and/or Guardians,

Welcome to John Morse Waldorf Methods School. Our school prides itself in offering a balanced curriculum, which includes activities of the head, hands and heart leading to the healthy development of each child. Artistic, cognitive, and practical lessons are integrated to nurture the strengths, potential, and uniqueness of each child. At the heart of Waldorf education is the conviction that it is an art. Whether the subject is math or history, the presentation must live and speak to the child's experience. To educate the whole child, the heart and will must be reached as well as the mind. We invite you to learn even more about Waldorf education by attending grade level parent meetings and individual parent/teacher conferences.

This school website represents an attempt to provide you with a useful reference throughout the school year. It includes on annual calendar, important policies and procedures, school information, forms of communication, ways to get involved, discipline guidelines, schedules and more.

Parental involvement is a high priority as evidenced by the numerous hours of volunteer time, attention to the physical beauty of the school, and general parental support at John Morse. We consider parents partners in the educational process and agree with extensive research connecting student success with high parent involvement. We expect you to visit our school, get involved in school functions, and to attend parent education opportunities. Your support of our SCRIP program and other fundraisers provide direct funding for many projects and programs unique to our school.

The family atmosphere and attention to the whole child are unique qualities of our school, and this year will be no exception! John Morse has some of the finest children, staff, and parents available in the world. We appreciate your support in working together to bring yet another successful year of engaged learning experiences for our students.

Respectfully,
Cheryl Eining
