About Us

The Corvallis Waldorf School is proud to be an independent, not-for-profit educational organization. Unlike public or charter schools, independent schools receive no funding from the government.

Our funding comes from family tuition, community donations, and grants. We welcome students of all nationalities, ethnicities, and spiritual backgrounds. The Four Pillars is a model for interdependent and cooperative governance and decision-making. They include, the School board, Faculty and Staff, Administration and Family-Volunteer committees. It takes a village to raise a child, and these entities assist in organizing our village.

Our Mission

To educate independent thinking people who meet life with courage and respond with initiative and creativity to the needs of the world and their fellow human beings.

Our Waldorf Ways

Since its founding by Rudolf Steiner in 1919, the Waldorf school movement has grown to over 1000 schools throughout the world, over 150 of them in the United States and Canada. Waldorf education balances artistic, academic and practical work with intent of educating the whole child; head, heart and hands. Its innovative methodology and development-oriented curriculum, permeated with the arts, address the child’s changing consciousness as it unfolds, stage by stage. Imagination and creativity are cultivated, as well as cognitive growth and a sense of responsibility for the earth and its inhabitants. For more detailed information about this educational methodology go to http://www.whywaldorfworks.org/.

Our History

This school started in 1993 in the homes of a few very dedicated and inspired parents in Corvallis. It grew to several classes and was hosted in a community church. When a full curriculum and multiple grades were developed, the school moved to the Corvallis School District, Fairplay Elementary building, located Northeast of Corvallis on HWY 20. Today we serve students ranging from Pre-Kindergarten through 8th Grade, and have a year around Little Acorns Parent Child Program as well as a Summer Program. We are growing, and welcoming more students each year as we continue to bring strong and vibrant educational opportunities to the children of the Corvallis, Albany, Philomath, Jefferson, Monmouth and surrounding areas.

Ein Projekt der 11. Klasse der Freien Waldorfschule Köln.
Interviewet wurden Schüler der Klassen 10-13.

Das erste offizielle Video des Bundes der Freien Waldorfschulen. Es geht darin um das Thema “Waldorflehrer werden” und soll Euch die Botschaft vermitteln, dass unserer Meinung nach in fast jedem Menschen ein Erzieher steckt – er muss nur entdeckt werden. Genau das wollen wir mit diesem Film unterstützen, denn die Waldorfschulen in Deutschland suchen viele junge Menschen, die Freude für den Lehrerberuf entwickeln wollen.

Eurythmie setzt Sprache und Musik nach bestimmten Gesetzmäßigkeiten in Bewegung um. Dabei geht es unter anderem um die Bewegungen, die Mund und Kehlkopf beim Sprechen von Lauten oder beim Singen ausführen. Deshalb bezeichnet man Eurythmie oft auch als „sichtbar werdende Sprache und Musik”.

Presentación un reino propio de la Escuela Waldorf de Cuernavaca, Mexico.

Marvin Minsky is an American cognitive scientist in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), co-founder of Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s AI laboratory, and author of several texts on AI and philosophy. He is one of the great pioneers of using computing metaphors to understand the human mind. His contributions to mathematics, robotics and computational linguistics are legendary and far-reaching.

Marvin Minsky is the superstar-elder of artificial intelligence, one of the most productive and important cognitive scientists of the century, and the leading proponent of the Society of Mind theory. Articulated in his 1985 book of the same name, Minsky’s theory says intelligence is not born of any single mechanism, but from the interaction of many independent agents. The book’s sequel, The Emotion Machine (2006), says similar activity also accounts for feelings, goals, emotions and conscious thoughts.

Minsky also pioneered advances in mathematics, computational linguistics, optics, robotics and telepresence. He built SNARC, the first neural network simulator, some of the first visual scanners, and the first LOGO “turtle.” From his headquarters at MIT’s Media Lab and the AI Lab (which he helped found), he continues to work on, as he says, “imparting to machines the human capacity for commonsense reasoning.”
