Things I especially love: the after school program the movement (p.e.) class the way children are allowed to move, and how the fact that children need to move around is incorporated into the way things are taught the small classes and friendliness of the teachers the way the older grades are given responsibility to help the school as a whole and the younger children the responsibility all grades have to help keep their school clean the recess area for the younger grades the way the morning drop off time feels at the school the emphasis on learning history (really not present in the STEM-heavy atmosphere of many schools today) the fact that children go outside every day.In recent years, as intown land has become more scarce, Atlanta has witnessed the advent of “pocket” communities in places like Edgewood, Kirkwood, and, soon, Druid Hills. My children will most likely go to a public high school, and I am not concerned at all that they will be ready when the time comes.

I will not deny that the academics feel less rigorous, but I still recognize that my children are learning, and going off the fact that the children from this school go on to perform very well at public and private high schools, I have faith that the academics are thoughtful and meaningful, and possibly just taught in a different way than I am used to. We transferred to Camellia Waldorf School from a public school, and although I loved my public school and I love and support the idea of public schools, I cannot deny that CWS is a wonderful place, on a totally different level in terms of thoughtfulness with school culture and social/emotional issues.
