Lower School.

What the Lower School day looks like, and how it keeps going after the last lesson.

What to expect

Athletics & After-School Programs

The day does not end when the last lesson does. After-school clubs and programs give children more ways to explore, from sports and engineering to games and the arts, and the offerings change with the seasons. Before-school care and extended-day hours are available for working families. Questions? Contact Lisa Novak, Extended Day and Athletics Director, at lnovak@waldorfatlanta. org.

Sports in the middle grades

In grades 6-8, conventional sports enter the physical education curriculum, arriving exactly when students are ready to respect the law of rules, work as a team, and pursue technique, timing, and the spirit of the game. After-school athletics give students even more ways to move and play, with offerings that change by season. Questions about athletics? org.

What this looks like in practice

A Lower School day moves between focused lessons and time to build, draw, and play. Children work with their hands, hear stories told aloud, and learn in a room set up for making things. Teachers stay with a class over the years, so they know each child well.
