Yeah, it sounds a little New-Age like …I’ll have to read CS Lewis’ comments.

Many of the parents I have talked to have loved it there. I haven’t been to the school myself yet but it made me wonder if their philosophy is the same as the Waldorf homeschool curriculum.
I, myself, have been interested in homeschool children for the last few years now but never knew that there were so many different curriculums out there. From reading your experience with Waldorf and the other two that you listed here, Waldorf speaks more to me that they others although I like the values of unschooling quite a bit. 🙂

Mindy,

Yes, sometimes we think we know ourselves… 🙂

Warmly,

Can’t wait to research it and see if it is something that will work with our family. I have to laugh with your results in Cathy Duffy’s book – I am exactly the same and got the same answer – struck me pretty funny!

I find CS Lewis’ thoughts on it in ‘Surprised by Joy’ very interesting, as was one of those who first became enthralled with that search through aestheticism for deeper meaning to life and rubbed shoulders with many staunch advocates of aestheticism.

Anthroposophy, the philosophy and new religious movement behind Waldorf education, is fascinating.

But there is a certain freedom and facilitating your children learning, to grow with them and to be part of it all, and so far I love it!
