Calgary Waldorf School

From special effects makeup and beekeeping to training therapy dogs and rebuilding dirt bikes, our Grade 8 students have spent the year diving deep into their passions for their Grade Eight Projects! Working alongside mentors, they’ve mastered new skills, tackled complex problem-solving, and poured their creativity into these incredible year-long journeys. We are so proud of their hard work, perseverance, and diverse talents!

Class 4 went on a research safari at the ! They gathered some amazing insights and observations for their upcoming animal projects.

“Mother Earth opened the door and out into the warm spring sunshine came the stately procession of beetles, ladybirds and Root Children with their blades of grass and flowers”.

Our Class 9 students have brought art history to life by creating incredible masterpiece reproductions of modern art on canvas. Through a demanding two-week process of colour-matching, layering, and perseverance, they immersed themselves daily in the world of their chosen artists.

Preparation is the key to a successful harvest! Class 2 spent time prepping the soil and practicing proper vegetable spacing and seed depths, ensuring everything was ready for the official planting.

Creativity truly abounded during last week’s Middle School "Anything But a Backpack" spirit day! We love seeing them balance these fun events with impactful fundraising initiatives that keep our school life vibrant.

In a meaningful rite of passage, Class 6 students completed their Journey to Knighthood projects. They also traveled to Edmonton for the Medieval Games to test their resilience and connect with regional peers. The journey culminated with a special knighting ceremony and celebratory feast, honouring each student's personal growth, self-awareness, and integrity.

Our third grade students are mastering the art of the custom hat, beginning by hand-dyeing their own vibrant yarn before trading knitting needles for crochet hooks. This classic handwork project builds incredible focus and fine motor skills, resulting in a cozy, wearable keepsake. We love seeing them sport their hard work and creativity with such well-earned satisfaction.

Outdoor education pushes beyond the classroom to turn challenging adventures like camping and rock climbing into real-world lessons on leadership and grit. By navigating their local geography together, students build strong bonds with their peers and gain the confidence to face obstacles with courage and resilience.
