Christopherus Curriculum: Waldorf Inspired Homeschooling
by Cassandra Torgrimson
Waldorf Inspired Homeschooling Curriculum
When we started homeschooling, we were unsure which curriculum to use. After much research, I came across a wonderful Waldorf inspired homeschool curriculum from Christopherus. The curriculum is written by Donna Simmons, who has been a Waldorf student and teacher, and has also homeschooled her sons using Waldorf. We are in our second year of using this curriculum. I love teaching with it, and our girls love learning from it. Our girls are now in Kindergarten and second grade. There are many things we like about Waldorf, including how art and crafts, body movement and nature are used throughout the subjects. A daily syllabus is given, but there is flexibility included, so you can use your own ideas if appropriate. The curriculum is affordable because we can use the same syllabus for both our girls as it is not consumable. So the first grade syllabus, which my older daughter used last year, is sitting waiting for my younger daughter to use it when she is in 1st grade next year. There is not a lot of parent-planning I need to do, but the teaching is very hands-on for me, the parent-teacher. I like that. I don't want to just hand them a book or worksheets at this point and say, "Go do it." I want to be right there watching them learn, it is amazing!
