✨ In our 7th grade Practical Arts class, creativity and craftsmanship come to life as students explore the beauty of handmade wood and pottery! 🪵✨

This week, they’ve been busy crafting elegant wooden candle holders and bowls, honing their skills in carving, sanding, and shaping. The tactile experience of working with wood is helping them develop both patience and precision. Meanwhile, their pottery projects are taking shape, as they learn the art of shaping clay and embracing the organic forms it naturally creates.

Every piece is a unique expression of each student’s growing craftsmanship, patience, and creativity. 🌟 We can’t wait to see how these beautiful works of art turn out!

A Waldorf education offers depth, creativity, and rigor that inspire lifelong learning.

Our students go on to joyfully pursue a wide array of careers in STEM, arts, business and beyond and thrive with the educational foundation they received here at Susquehanna Waldorf School.

Join us for an Open House on January 25 to learn more about Waldorf’s approach to academics and how your child can develop a lifelong love of learning. We look forward to meeting you!

Break may be over, but the spirit of winter fun lives on! ❄️🛷

Our fifth graders embraced the snowy hills on their first day back, turning the fresh blanket of snow into a canvas for laughter, adventure, and unforgettable memories.

At SWS, we believe learning extends far beyond classroom walls. Nature is our greatest teacher, offering lessons and opportunities unique to every season. Winter invites children into a world of wonder—building resilience, sparking curiosity, and encouraging playful exploration.

So bundle up, grab your sled, and discover the magic waiting just beyond your doorstep. The adventure continues! ⛄✨

If you’re looking for a Waldorf student, just look up—you’ll likely find them climbing in a tree 🌳

Risky play is a supported component of Waldorf education and offers children the opportunity to grow and develop, physically, emotionally and cognitively.

“When a child is testing a branch, jumping from a tree or playing alongside the river, they are assessing risk and problem solving. They are also developing self-knowledge and self trust through every experience of success. It is such a joy to watch a child in their first attempt to climb a tree. Timid and unsure, moving slowly, assessing with each step if they are safe. With each branch their confidence soars until they exclaim with excitement, ‘I did it, did you see me!?’ And with each fall our children also build resiliency,” writes Kindergarden teacher Kerry Clements.
