And we’re excited to bring a beloved Waldorf tradition to the wider community: the Winter Spiral. Each year, at Tamarack and Waldorf schools around the world, we welcome the winter solstice with this beautiful and reflective ceremony. Participants of all ages are invited to walk a winding path of evergreen boughs toward a central flame, light a candle, and place it along the spiral. The Winter Spiral symbolizes the inward journey we take during the darkest days of the year—and reminds us that even a small light can help brighten the world around us. The Winter Spiral will be just one of many special experiences at Spark in the Dark. Stay tuned for more details! https://www.tamarackwaldorf.org/events/lantern-walk monthly 0.5 2026-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cec530fc555600001f8065e/0aefe008-f174-4dd6-8f72-5273cf7140e5/IMG_E7830.JPG Upcoming Events - Lantern Walk - Lantern Walk As autumn deepens and the days grow shorter, Waldorf communities around the world prepare for one of their most beloved traditions, the Lantern Walk.

At Tamarack Waldorf School, we invite our past and future families, neighbors, surrounding community members to join us on this cherished tradition.

We recognize each person as a whole human being and a unique individual. We value the diversity of our community and believe that each member should experience equity and Inclusion. We strive to engage all community members and create a culture of purposeful activity and joy, and support their inner development and growth. We value healthy relationships that thrive through collaboration and shared responsibility and a vibrant partnership between family and home. We value a Waldorf curriculum that meets each developmental stage as children grow, providing the right experience at the appropriate time and a continually evolving curriculum that meets all of our students. Studying the works of Rudolf Steiner upon which our pedagogy is based, we are faced with statements and beliefs that are racist and do not align with our school values. The statements that assess race as an indicator of the evolution of spiritual development are incorrect and harmful as well as in contradiction with the respect for each individual that is so important to our work in Waldorf education. We also stand behind the statement from AWSNA (Association of Waldorf Schools of North America) that can be found below. Tamarack Waldorf School is continually striving towards understanding and implementing current best practices relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion. By engaging in reflective practices that allow us to collectively grow and learn as a community, we reject practices and ideas that are discriminatory. We commit to redeveloping curriculum that de-centers Eurocentric narratives and reimagines Waldorf curriculum and traditions to be more inclusive of different cultures, backgrounds, histories, and lived experiences. We believe that offering students reflections of themselves within the curriculum, as well as windows into unfamiliar perspectives, contributes to positive and compassionate learning experiences. Tamarack Waldorf School has taken up a number of initiatives to support these commitments and propel our DEI work forward, beyond the social and curricular work being taken up by classroom teachers each day. In the summer of 2021, three Tamarack faculty members took part in a leadership training to become SEED (Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity) facilitators. Together, they are bringing these workshops to Tamarack faculty and staff. Each seminar is centered around different social justice issues, offering reflective exercises and conversations in which participants examine how their own lived experiences shape their perspectives. The purpose of these seminars is to work against racism and other systems of oppression through dismantling white supremacy conditioning by exploring and understanding our own stories and experiences. In addition to our work with SEED, a working group, called IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Access), has been formed to support and facilitate this work within the school. This group meets weekly to discuss and respond to diversity, equity, and inclusion matters and to collaboratively work to support Tamarack in offering equitable, accessible, and inclusive Waldorf education to our school community. Tamarack Waldorf School is also taking part in the NAIS (National Association of Independent Schools) AIM (Assessment of Inclusion and Multiculturalism) Equity Audit to help us understand our current strengths and needs, showing us what further actions must be taken. The Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA), Tamarack Waldorf School’s accrediting body, has published the following statement pertaining to DEI work within the Waldorf education movement as a whole. Tamarack Waldorf School stands behind this statement and supports AWSNA’s work in advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion work within Waldorf schools.

Children learn important life skills such as tidying up, setting the table, cleaning up after meals, mending, folding, putting on and taking off of outside clothing. This helps them seem themselves as active participants in their community and allows them to feel more independent. This video talks about incorporating real life activities into the classroom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cec530fc555600001f8065e/c374bcfc-7e31-4771-a809-1935dd681e40/1_Potting+Plants+%2811%29.jpg Early Childhood - But what about the academics? In Waldorf schools, the early childhood classroom is a place of exploration and discovery, where children build social and emotional skills. As they learn how they fit into their world and how to relate to others, they develop the foundation needed for later academic success. A growing body of research supports delaying formal academic instruction until around age seven. The following article offers insight into this approach. https://www.tamarackwaldorf.org/lowergrades daily 0.75 2026-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cec530fc555600001f8065e/bf03a03b-9aee-4128-9e86-f3b9835c8477/IMG_7656.jpg Lower Grades https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cec530fc555600001f8065e/74d3023b-6132-4053-b9d3-142c4e0abd07/Chet+in+Classroom.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cec530fc555600001f8065e/8e08670d-b987-42e3-9c20-43327df5299f/group+with+crochet.jpg Lower Grades - Applied Arts & Handwork Drawing, form drawing, painting, and beeswax modeling are an integral part of our curriculum. These artistic practices nurture creative thinking while beautifully complementing the logical, sequential thinking developed through math and science. Our handwork curriculum—knitting, crocheting, and cross-stitch—offers a steady progression of skills that supports healthy childhood development, fostering focus, perseverance, coordination, and confidence along the way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cec530fc555600001f8065e/52a5690e-c371-4f2a-abb0-e44aef4e07a7/4th+uks+close.jpg Lower Grades - Music Music is an essential aspect of who we are as individuals, and a valuable part of the Waldorf educational experience. Every student has the capacity to participate and engage in music-making to harmonize and lift their inner nature. In grade one students receive a pentatonic flute to help develop a sense of musicality. Students hone their listening and memorization skills as well as work on hearing tempo, beat, and melodies. Students learn how to play the ukulele beginning in grade four. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cec530fc555600001f8065e/8ee04f90-636c-422f-bc29-ceae82281b7a/IMG_7217.jpg Lower Grades - Drama & Speech In our drama program, children learn public speaking skills, work on memorization of lines and songs, and progress to take on more and more ownership of the plays. The first grade class typically presents a fairy tale or folk tale that they recite in unison. This helps support the children that might not be ready to present lines independently.
