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.

Just read a great article in today’s New York Times about a Waldorf School in Saratoga Springs where the students spend time outdoors in the forest every day no matter what the weather.

Inspiring story, great pictures.

Conscious, individual expression and personal initiative for the good is a universal value of Waldorf education worldwide. The opinions expressed by the el Rio Charter School founders and school blog authors are ours alone as individuals.

Collectively, we hold to Waldorf's shared human values of (1) the gift of attentiveness (2) the power of initiative, (3) the count-to-ten pause for objectivity, (4) the joy of positivity, (5) the curiosity of openness, and (6) "being the change you wish to see in the world."

We hold the same standard for comments on our blog posts and look forward to your thoughts and conversation starters!
