Bright Water Schools Ably Prepares Learners for the Challenges that Lie Ahead

SEATTLE - Jan. 13, 2014 - PRLog -- At Bright Water School, it is not just about preparing learners academically, but holistically, where their creative processes and academic readiness are molded so they can become whatever that they want to be.

Bright Water School is a Waldorf school in Seattle founded in 1998. The Waldorf education was developed by Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian philosopher who specialized in teacher education and most of all, athroposophical education.

At Bright Water School, the following programs are being offered:

·         2 preschool classes available in half-day and full-day classes

·         2 full-day kindergarten classes that come with half-day pick-up option

·         A grade school for students who are in the grade 1 to grade 8 learning age

·         A parent and child class that is a perfect fit for toddlers and their parents

Located at the St. Nicholas Building in the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Seattle, the school offers a perfect environment fit for both learning and play. Around the school premises are lush greens and playgrounds where children can play during their break hours. An indication of the quality of education can be gauged in the kind of surroundings and premises the school has.

While it is important for children to be academically well-prepared in subjects such as language, reading, phonetics, mathematics and science, they also need to be well-rounded learners. Well-roundedness in the academic sense means learners are able to express themselves through art, music and in movement. They need to be in touch with the world they live in and not just learn what it is straight from what their textbooks say. A Waldorf curriculum such as Bright Water School offers both - a school program balanced with art and science, self-expression and formal languages.

The beauty of a Waldorf School such as that of Bright Water School is the low teacher to student ratio that it has. Teachers and other members of the faculty work closely with their community of learners, help them achieve academic success by focusing on each of their students' individual capacities to learn. Although teachers make it a point to help their students whenever they need guidance to focus on the subject matter being taught, the goal of Waldorf teachers is to make holistic learners who are also capable of working independently from their peers.

The Bright Water School prides itself on its small and intimate community. Relationships among students and teachers are strong and close. They make it a point that not only is the caring and compassionate aspect shared among teachers and students, but also to the parents of the students that they have.

There are parent and child classes available in the school that parents can be a part of. These classes enable them to meet other parents in the school and share experiences with one another. These classes also focus on teaching parents the early childhood development and what the Waldorf education is all about. More importantly, these classes seek to build a community of parents who are supportive of their child's learning and their world.
