The White Mountain Waldorf School is an independent school that offers the choice of a Waldorf education, nursery through eighth grade, to the Mount Washington Valley and its surrounding communities.  At the White Mountain Waldorf School, we believe that children deserve an inspired education that allows them to grow up strong, happy and healthy; children thrive in our school.  Our dedicated and loving teachers provide a solid foundation for lifelong learning by joyfully immersing children in art, music, math, language, movement and play.  We see children's capacities grow here daily:  intellectually, socially, artistically and spiritually.  This enables each amazingly unique child to work and play with freedom and joy throughout their lives.

  

"Receive the child in reverence, educate the child with love, let the child go forth in freedom." ~Rudolf Steiner

 

  

 PENTATHLON

In the 5th grade students undergo an important shift  from learning mythology to history. As they begin to study the ancient Greeks, students learn to appreciate the balance between skill and beauty, art and science, earthly life and spirituality.  Then, in the spring, they take part in a Greek Pentathlon with students from other regional Waldorf schools, where they participate in the following events:  relay race, javelin, discus, long jump and wrestling.  The Pentathlon gives the students an opportunity to test their skills in a festive environment.  Please show your support and encouragement to our 4/5th grade students as they make final preparations for their Pentathlon competition.  This year the event is hosted by the Merriconeag Waldorf School. The students will leave campus at 2:45pm on Thursday, May 17th, spend the night, and compete on the 18th; hopefully the weather will cooperate.  BEST OF LUCK to all of you, and most importantly HAVE FUN!!!
