Waldorf-Inspired Magnet Program

Students have the option of placement on this unique team that uses aspects of Waldorf methodology.

For more information about the Waldorf-Inspired Methods, visit www.foxhollowwaldorf.com

  • Academic and Artistic Studies: Academic subjects are balanced with rich artistic experiences and demanding practical work to challenge students to reach their full potential. Rhythm, song, color, dance, hand work, painting, poetry, storytelling, and drama are woven into the curriculum and are made part of all subjects at all grade levels.

  • Day Trips: Students become aware of the many opportunities available to them through extensive exposure to museums, theaters, historical sites, nature centers, and other community resources.

  • Workshops and Special Areas: Students explore their interests in special areas, such as media and technology, visual and performing arts, and foreign language. They further investigate their interests through workshops held by such organizations as Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft, Kentucky Shakespeare Festival, Walden Theatre Young Playwrights, University of Louisville (U of L) Repertory Theatre, and the Louisville Orchestra.

  • In-Depth Studies: Students develop their talents during grades four and five through in-depth studies of such areas as architecture, journalism, broadcasting, theatre arts, performing arts and humanities groups.

The Waldorf Methods Team is available to students in P1 through grade five. The teachers have participated in the Rudolf Steiner College Public School Institute in California and are members of the Jefferson County Public Schools Cadre.
