Information about our School and the AreaThe 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 five classes (Jr. & Sr. kindergarten, grades 1-2, grades 3-4, and grades 5-7) with a total enrolment of 60 students. Our first five years were spent in a picturesque schoolhouse situated at the foot of a lakeside farm near the town of Bridgewater. Nine 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 the school - renovating the building, fundraising, organizing guest lectures, developing school policy, enrolling new students. We have many dreams and wishes. We provide instruction in Main Lesson subjects such as language arts, math, history, geography, and science; all enriched with drama, art, music, movement and handwork. Our curriculum also includes extra classes in instrumental and choral music, French, form-drawing, painting, woodworking and the celebration of many seasonal festivals. Join us as we blossom and flourish. The South Shore of Nova Scotia...
