Why Waldorf?
Orchard Valley Waldorf School
What does Waldorf look like? Peek into Torin Finser's classroom as he takes his class from grades 1 to 8!
A Note:
If you can only afford the essentials, these are the
two things -- and the only 2 things -- that you need to develop your homeschool curriculum.
Both of these resources cover grades 1 through 12. (And, don't worry, you can still do a FANTASTIC job!)
