SOUTH SHORE WALDORF SCHOOL
The South Shore Waldorf School, located in rural
Nova Scotia, is an independent school enthusiastically run by its
committed teachers, parents and supportive friends. At present, it
is comprised of three classes (nursery/kindergarten, grades 1-3 and
grades 4-6) with a total enrolment of 30 students. Our first five
years were spent in a picturesque schoolhouse situated at the foot
of a lakeside farm near the town of Bridgewater. Seven years ago, to
reflect our changing needs, we relocated to a character-filled
60-year-old schoolhouse that sits on seven acres of fields and trees
in the community of Blockhouse, minutes away from the historic
village of Mahone Bay.
Our school is young and growing; our children enthusiastic and
creative; and our teachers, parents and friends dedicated to the
flourishing of our community. The entire school body (children,
parents, teachers and friends alike) is involved in all aspects of
running the school -- renovating the building, fundraising,
organizing guest lectures, developing school policy, enrolling new
students….
We have many dreams and wishes. At present, our class teacher
provides instruction in drama, art, movement and handwork. Our
faculty includes part-time music, French, math, form-drawing and
language arts teachers and several part-time Main Lessons teachers.
Join us as we blossom and flourish.
The South Shore of Nova Scotia...
• is a peaceful rural area in which to live
• boasts historic sites such as Mahone Bay and the town of Lunenburg
(designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site)
• offers lakes and woods for outdoor activities such as hiking,
canoeing and kayaking
• is home to the most beautiful beaches in the country
• offers country living with farm markets and an arts and crafts
community
• is a 60-minute drive from the historic and vibrant city of Halifax
for those occasions when you need city-style culture and recreation
