Education for the 21st Century

Dear families,

With the world in its current state of flux and turmoil, we embrace our community just a little bit tighter today. May we rise to the current challenges facing us and model for our children what compassion looks like. May we strive to continue to educate ourselves on the troubles facing our nation, and do everything in our power to aid in its collective healing. Together, may we co-create a better world and not shrink from the difficult conversations. It only takes one person to affect change and our numbers, working in unity, are mighty.

From AWSNA: " We send this email today acknowledging societal injustice and the resulting anger that has escalated throughout the United States this past week. We offer our thoughts to the communities of City of Lakes Waldorf School and Minnesota Waldorf School, so near the epicenter of the protests spurred by the murder of George Floyd. We grieve for the family of George Floyd and are outraged by the unjust acts perpetrated by police officers whose very task it is to protect their communities. We are once again reminded of the systemic racism that exists within the United States. 
 
Yet we recognize that sadness and outrage are not enough. At the foundation of Waldorf education lies the mission of social renewal. As Waldorf educators, we hold the dignity of life and the human being at the center of our work. It is our responsibility to bear witness to what is happening in the world, to elevate the voices of marginalized people, to change the course of inequities, and to break down structural prejudice in all forms where it exists, particularly in Waldorf education." 

Below are some recommendations for ways that we can continue to educate ourselves and our children, and support our fellow human beings.

How to talk to children about racism and violence : resources for teachers, parents and guardians
Anti-racism Resources for White People : a compilation of resources for white people and parents to deepen our work in anti-racism
Array Now : Started by Ava DuVernay, director of Now They See Us, this is a compilation of African American independent films - an array of stories and voices.
Teaching Tolerance : Teaching about race, racism, and police violence
75 Things White People Can Do for Racial Justice : Curated by Medium and updated regularly.

Congratulations to the Class of 2020!

We are so proud of our graduating seniors! While this was not the ending that any of our families had in mind for the graduating Grade 12 class, the abundant time spent at WSOC and the flowering of the high school years has left a powerful and indelible impression. Our students know who they are, and they are ready to meet the world. Below, you will hear from some of our Grade 12 parents on the cumulative power of a Waldorf education.

"My class is a group of creative and passionate individuals," says senior Amali Cole. "We are all alike in that we do everything with a full heart, and we are intensely and emotionally connected to those we care about!"
"Sixteen years ago, we embarked on an educational journey at WSOC. Today, as we prepare to graduate our oldest from high school, I would like to express our deepest gratitude to the faculty and staff for their steadfast commitment to the values which sets Waldorf apart as an educational system for the 21st Century.

I can confidently say those involved in our daughter’s education are greatly responsible for helping her form a deep respect for humanity, a curiosity and quest to learn about the world, and a slowed pace to notice and act upon what is true, good, and just in her life. As I reflect upon the past 16 years at Waldorf, I am ever grateful for choosing this education for our children."

- Chi-Lin Pendergrast
"As this crazy school year comes to a close, and I reflect back on Sydney’s 15-year journey, from playgroup to her senior year, I am filled with a flurry of emotions. The little girl that dipped her toe into the playgroup pool is now an amazing, intelligent, strong, passionate, kind and talented young woman who knows what she thinks, believes and who she is.  
 
We chose the Waldorf school not because we researched Rudolf Steiner, or believed in any specific method of teaching – and I’m still not quite sure I know what Eurythmy is – her mom and I just loved the vibe, the joy, the energy, the parents, the teachers, and how amazing I felt every time I arrived on campus, whistling and singing the rest of my day. And as each school year folded into the next, there was always a tangible commitment from the teachers, parents and community, of giving every ounce of love they have into May Fair and Michaelmas, and Winter Festival, and everything in between. I still tear up thinking about kindergarten birthday circles or the day her class returned from their 8 th grade trip to Alaska; how happy we were to see the kids come home. As a class. As a family.

And sure, there have been bumps along the way – perhaps around school governance, structure, or questions around who is in charge of what – but these things are so minor, compared to what’s most important, which I know in the deepest parts of my soul: you will never find a more committed group of teachers, administrators and parents, who provide the best education and learning environment, than at our school. It is an incredible education.

With these few weeks remaining, Sydney and I talked about what she loved the most about the journey. She said it’s the life-long friendships of her classmates, the impact that so many teachers have had on her life, and the spark that lit the flame of creativity inside her; as musician, actress, artist and poet, that will carry her to the University of Oregon in the fall. 

I wanted to take a moment to say thank you, to the Waldorf School of Orange County – to those who came before us that created the spirit and foundation, to those that have been on the journey with us along the way… you have all my love and admiration. We thank you for being our village." 

- Colin Severn

"We came to Waldorf after trying public school, Montessori, and a home school program. All of them had good aspects yet the end result felt the same - a binary result of yes / no, pass / fail - on our children’s ability to remember the linear content being taught to them. We will never forget our first visit at Waldorf. We literally “felt” a difference in energy and spirit when we got to campus. We were looking for education that taught our children they could be their own source of knowledge, self-esteem, and creative thinking that made them feel confident in who they were, not confidence built in comparison to others or standardized metrics.

We absolutely found that at Waldorf. Where the state of the student is nourished over the academics. Where the teachers meet the students where they are. What we found is that both of our children wanted to go to school every day. They were nurtured and challenged. They found their own paths. One child found inspiration in Neuroscience at UCLA and has now finished her first year of a PhD program. Our second graduating senior at Waldorf, Carli, will be entering Boston University in the fall to follow her passions in sociology, psychology and the arts.

More important to us than the university names and programs is the fact that both girls found their own paths. Waldorf developed within them the internal inspiration, knowledge and confidence that they are capable and worthy to pursue whatever they desire. To us, the ultimate result of a great education. Would we choose Waldorf education again for our girls?
A resounding yes!"

- Pat Johnston


"We came for an education, stayed for the community and now are leaving with our hearts overflowing with gratitude and a young woman who is ready to bring healing to the world.

Nearly seventeen years ago we walked into a playgroup classroom at WSOC. The colors of the room, the play structures and decorations were all so warm and inviting. But most of all it was the teacher, Miss Uschi, that made us instantly realize that this would be the second home for our daughter, Amali.

Investment in education is incredibly important to both of us. We both had been public school teachers. Darshi fell in love with learning as a student at a Montessori school run by a protégé of Maria Montessori. Darshi’s mother was also a Montessori teacher. Brian’s years in graduate school nearly exceeded the average American’s total years of schooling.

As Amali was nearing age two, we could see she was an outgoing child who needed social interaction beyond what she was getting at home. We started looking for preschools thinking we will find a nice neighborhood school for her. Boy, were we wrong! We visited over 20 preschools (yes, we were a bit obsessive!), but just couldn’t find the right fit. Then Brian recalled a conversation he had years before with his mom about Waldorf Schools. With a group of other parents she helped start a cooperative preschool in their hometown based loosely on Waldorf principles. Brian talked about how much he loved that school with its old boat, stream and forest. We began looking for a Waldorf school in our area and found one 30 minutes away in Orange County. It seemed impossible to drive so far for a preschool; after all, who commutes to preschool? But it took less than five minutes with Miss Uschi to change our minds and the course of our lives.

Now, as parents of a twelfth grader, we couldn’t be happier with that decision. From Miss Uschi, Miss Barbara, Miss Holly, Miss Beka, and the countless lower-grade subject teachers to the wise and insightful high school staff, our daughter Amali has been cared for and encouraged to blossom into her own. Sure, there were times in the early years when we wondered if we were gambling with Amali’s future. Other kids read before she did and seemed to learn more academics before she did. But we were reassured by the knowledge that Amali was in the hands of the most amazing community so unlike the larger society.

She was surrounded by goodness and beauty, given the space to grow and to explore a spectrum of emotions. And, when she was ready, she was challenged to think deeply and globally. Every step of the way, she was free to grow in her own way, held soundly when she needed the support, and guided firmly when needed. As Miss Barbara and Holly reminded her and us in those early years, all of this was an opportunity to polish her star.

Seventeen years ago we thought we were signing her up for an academic journey, but we got so much more. Yes, she was prepared to attend any university in the country, but the gift of Waldorf has been so much more—not just for her but for our entire family. It is the way the adults respect the children, seeing them, not as empty vessels, but as growing souls with deep wisdom that need to be nurtured and inspired. It is the intentional building of community, showing us how we can find joy and harmony, not by denying our differences, but by embracing them as gifts and strengths. It is also the years of being surrounded by love and role models who have shown how to overcome disagreements and adversity. This is the gift of Waldorf. We know that as Amali enters the wide world, she knows in her bones how to create a good and just world not only for herself but also for those around her.

There are no worlds to adequately express our gratitude to this school and the amazing individuals that have transformed our lives forever. Our gratitude is expressed every day in our actions and how we (not just her) live our lives.

We thank each and every one of the teachers, staff, administrators, TA conversationalists, and every single family who has made this gem of a community."

- Darshi Balasuriya and Brian Cole
Grade 12 Redwood Project
"The process of making this Waldorf redwood project was elaborate and done in a process inspired by an outside visitor.

My classmates and I were excited when we got to meet the Karma car designer and WSOC parent, Andreas Thurner, who gave us many different perspectives for us to consider in our creative process. Some of these questions included:

'Where did the wood come from? What does that signify? How old was the tree? Why are WE making this project?' We came to the conclusion that we would inlay the redwood with copper for the letters, and also trace a ring of the tree down, showing the journey and growth of our community as a school, and the growth of the children that are a part of this education. The blue color symbolizes our close proximity to the ocean." 

- Gram Boden, Grade 12
Grade 11 Woodworking
Our Grade 11 just completed their woodworking project. They were tasked with creating a wooden picture using wood scraps of different colors, as well as copper to come up with a design and to cut the pieces using a jeweler's saw.
Students were asked to reflect on COVID-19 and the quarantine, considering how beauty can be created and cultivated during these times, what they personally are grateful for and how they were going to challenge themselves in quarantine. All of the works thus represent our students coming to terms with the current situation, using powerful symbolism to convey their feelings and thoughts.
- Matan Tsufim, Practical Arts teacher
8th Grade Projects Go Virtual
During our opening night of the 8th grade project presentations last week I said, “today we are making history, and thank you for being a part of it.” 

Yes, I am grateful for our community (local and across the globe) that shared last week’s evenings with our 8th graders. Eighth grade project presentations have been a tradition at our school for as long as I can remember- over 20 years. Each year, Grade 8 get to present the projects they have worked on individually for one year. It is one of those coming of age experiences and a bit of a capstone for the students who have prepared for this moment in some way for eight years.

It is also a defining moment for the Grade 8 teacher, who gets to watch his or her students fly completely solo for the first time.

Nine years ago I stood in our meeting hall, guiding my previous class through their final rehearsals, helping them set up their display boards and giving them either a pep talk, final advice and or final push to finish. It was an exhilarating and busy time. Last week I found myself sitting in my house, talking into my computer, trying to do those very things virtually. At times I just wanted to jump through the computer into the kids' living rooms or say shift a lamp or help them film, or make adjustments. Well, Zoom does not yet have this feature!

Practice on Zoom, final rehearsal on Zoom, testing slide shows/ movies, making last minute movies to demonstrate what they had learned, figuring out when it gets dark in case the student wanted to record life outside and so forth was new, but also quite fun. Figuring out when the meeting moderator (thank you Ms. Brooke!), the Grade 7 student, and the teacher or Grade 8 presenter would mute, unmute, and screen share became lively discussions!

Emerging out of all of this were the heroes, my students who took this challenge and ran with it. If someone did not know how to add sound to a slide show or how to put something into share screen and presenter mode, one or more classmates jumped in to talk us through it. If anyone ever wondered if the Waldorf kids would be able to manage technology (when we do not advocate this in the earlier years), they can rest easy. Within no time my students learned or knew how to do circles around parent and teachers alike in some cases.

Not one of the students complained or took this new handicap as an excuse to compromise his or her presentation, and instead everyone pulled together from their home to be there for his or her classmates and for me.

In the end, each and everyone stood, poised, maybe nervous but with open hearts and an apparent genuine desire to share what they had learned. They all earned their “wings.” They teleported into your living rooms and into the houses of old classmates, relatives and their teachers. 

I was immensely proud of everyone and if you were viewing them, I hope you agreed with me just how special each and everyone is in his or her way. As I have often said when I try to explain about teaching my Waldorf students: “it is not what you stuff into them that matters but the privilege to help them unpack the unique gifts they have come to bring to the world.”

In conclusion, we all learned a lot, the milestone was there for everyone and we loved that you, our community, were there for us to get it done. What was the hardest for me (I might need to have a talk with the Zoom folks) definitely was not to be able to jump through that screen, give everyone a big hug, congratulate them and their parents and celebrate together. Oh well, sometimes such is life and as my student Christopher so passionately said (during his rock climbing presentation) on Friday in better words than mine, “keep climbing to higher heights, push past your ceilings and seize the moment.”

- Christiane Bohr, Grade 8 teacher
Aiden Hart, Sneaker Design
"The most challenging part of my project was actually getting in contact with someone who could be my mentor, and getting them to agree to be my mentor for the whole year! 

Since we did the project partially online, the practical portion of the project was a little more difficult, but the presentation itself was easier since there wasn’t as much stress presenting to a screen as there would have been if it were a whole live audience.

I definitely will continue designing, and my mentors Wade Motawi (footwear designer and author) and Alexander John (footwear designer) said they would continue to help me, so hopefully I will produce a factory-made sneaker in the future."
Helena Kness, Beekeeping
"If I wanted to let the community know anything about the importance of bees, I think I'd tell them that bees are crucial to human survival. They not only pollinate our crops but they are crucial to the survival of all of our wildlife such as plants, trees, animals and insects. Without bees there are no insects, without insects there are no birds.
 
I think the most fun part of my project was when I first put on a bee suit and came close to a hive. The hive belonged to my mentor Brad Holm (WSOC Games teacher). It was the first time I ever saw a bee hive close up and it was just a really cool experience. 
 
I think the most challenging part of my project was beginning it. I was nervous at first because of how big the community was and how much information was in front of me, but every person I met from the bee community during the process was super kind and helpful, plus everyone was so excited that I was researching the subject and happy I was joining the community, which made me feel really welcome.
 
The advice I would give to someone looking into keeping a hive would be to do as much research as possible! Read books from your local library, reach out to beekeepers you know or even just find information from trusted sources on Google! Some of the best bee organizations I came across during my project were Glory Bee, in Eugene, Oregon and Backyard Bees here in California. They have great websites and places you can visit."
Johnny Rasmussen, Welding
"I was in my mentor’s (uncles) work shop and I wanted to learn how to weld. I saw the welder and I was curious how it worked.

I loved making my projects (fire pit, fire place insert, desk, and gate). I liked learning the engineering aspect of certain projects. Especially the gate.

The most challenging part of my experience in welding was manipulating the ground clamp of the welder. It was so difficult to make sure it was ground and that the wire would weld. 

I would love to make fire pits and anything else for the community. I loved doing my projects and I am happy to do more. You can contact me at  jrasmussen@waldorfschool.com ."
Sarah McCarthy, Aikido
"Nothing really surprised me about aikido because I didn’t know much about it to start off with. 

I had fun with all of my project but the most fun I had was probably at a martial arts seminar in San Diego.

The most challenging part was learning to memorize all the moves in each technique and trying to remember everything.

Aikido is really easy, and like a lot of other things, all you need is the patience to practice. For someone who would have a harder time with competitive martial arts for their size or weight for example, I think aikido would be a good fit for them. Or maybe you would rather practice a more mellow approach to martial arts, that could be a reason to start aikido as well. It really depends on each person but I like it because it has a point, and isn’t all about winning." 
Grade 5 Teacher Ms. Emahiser
Shares Gift of Music with Class
"My class always likes it when I play cello for them, and so I have made it my gift to them when they completed each week of online learning. This gift from my heart often touches on class subjects, but sometimes it is just for fun! And while we are “separate together” right now, we have seen the power of music to connect us and build our communities. With my daughter, Irene, on the piano, we have traversed the countries of Italy, France, Germany, and Hungary with pieces by Bach, Faure, Mascani and Bartok. And recently I shared a piece composed by my father, Alfred H. Bartles, appropriately named “Dionysian Dance” for our Greek block. Please enjoy this selection, a journey to Argentina with Piazzolla’s famous 'Oblivion.' "

- Ms. Emahiser, Grade 5 teacher
Specialty Teachers Shine
During Learning Beyond the Classroom
Enlivening Waldorf Outside the Classroom

"I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for the specialty teachers and their offerings in Learning Beyond the Classroom. Each week our home is filled with creative lessons; Maestra Crozier making balloon balls filled with flour (and a stunning video of how to make them) as well as the project pictured, the Ariang Song from Mrs. Gloria, juggling and handstands from Mr. Brad and the sounds of Mrs. Meir reading as our boys work on basket making. Catching a glimpse of one of our boys practicing Eurythmy with Mr. Pavel. In these moments, I know why we are here at WSOC. 

Having our boys learn in this format was never our first choice, but each day as I go over what the teachers and specialty teachers are bringing to them, I am in awe of the thoughtful and loving gestures in each lesson. Until we can be together again on campus, the spirit of your lessons is warming our hearts and our home."

- Maureen McDermott, Grade 4 parent
Middle School Orchestra Performs Beauty and the Beast
Please enjoy this beautiful performance (the last Strings performance of the year) by members of our Middle School Orchestra: "Beauty and the Beast," led by our Director of Music Debora Wondercheck. Each student recorded at home, and the performances were joined together by Ms. Wondercheck to create a work of sonic art.
Handwork at Home
With patient instructions from Ms. Christine, handwork teacher, and Ms. Phyllis, handwork assistant, 8th Graders Tanner Gilmer and Aidan Hamilton painstakingly sewed custom pillows at home instead of the customary handwork room.

"We couldn't do pajama bottoms this year, but I wanted them to at least have one completed project to create and keep," said Ms. Christine. "They did great, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of my students' creations!"
Grade 3 Woodwork
