A huge Thank You to everyone who supported MWS during the first ever 401 Gives event organized by United Way RI. In celebration of our success, we hope you enjoy this slideshow featuring the photographs we shared during the 24 hours of giving.
A Different Approach to Financial Aid
Part of the Mission Statement of the Meadowbrook Waldorf School reads, “We strive to offer this education to those who seek it here…” One of the ways MWS supports this part of the mission is through financial aid, and like many things at a Waldorf School, we do it a little differently. For one thing, we call it “adjustment” not “aid,” and this is quite purposeful.
Who is the Waldorf Teacher?
The Waldorf ideal is that the class teacher will stay with the class from grade one through grade eight. Waldorf education holds the child at its center. Concerned with educating the whole human being, the creation of a familial environment within the class with a consistent, authoritative voice is fundamental to providing the secure setting necessary for students to explore and unfold their life's purpose.
