For families seeking an education that develops a child’s academic, relational and personal capacities far beyond a traditional education, CWS fulfills both the Alberta Education and Waldorf Curriculums. Together with our vibrant and inclusive parent community, CWS provides a soulful and enriching educational experience that awakens a child’s full potential. Graduates are future ready with a strong academic foundation, and a highly-developed sense of self with the purpose and direction to live a meaningful life.
Additional notes: The Calgary Waldorf School has a contract with Webber Academy to provide space on their school buses to our students . The set boundaries for the school buses to travel in the north end of Calgary are Stoney Trail north and Deerfoot Trail, and in the south Macleod Trail and Highway 22X (Stoney Trail south). Students living outside the boundaries will have to be brought to a designated stop within the bus zone of a specified community for early morning pick up and afternoon drop off
Come and explore our Preschool and Kindergarten classrooms with your child and meet our teachers in the "Kinderwing". Families with children entering Grades One to Nine are invited to drop in and visit the main school where classrooms will be open with student work on display. Staff will be available to answer your questions about programs and admissions.
Join us for a talk and tour on "The Waldorf Curriculum from Grade One through Grade Nine".
