Welcome families and friends of El Rio Charter School.
Our vision is to found a Kindergarten through 5th grade public charter school, opening in 2013, which brings the advantages of a Waldorf style education to Northeast Los Angeles.
We are calling for participants willing to strategize, collaborate and give skills and time to help us
make it happen.

Teaching at Ocean Charter School: public Waldorf education in L.A.

For five days this summer Los Angeles public school educators will have a chance to experience public Waldorf education in practice, not just hear about it in theory.

Begins July 19th at Ocean Charter School. ***PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD*** [Flyer, contacts, registration below]

Educators will EXPERIENCE:

  • Experience the comprehension-inducing effects of storytelling.
  • Experience the focus and learning effect of song, movement, drawing, painting, sculpture and more on the mind.
  • Experience the mind-opening effect of hands-on science.

Educators will TAKE HOME:

  • A KIT with ideas and materials for their grade.
  • Collaborative strategies to form a professional in-house learning community.
  • The ability to make a difference with different learners through Waldorf-based ‘different-learner’ methods.
