The high school experience aims to balance the students’ academic needs with their longing to find meaning in the world. Scroll down to hear from a few of our faculty members. \nEngaging Body\, Intellect\, and Emotion\nAt the start of each day\, movement helps spark students’ circulation and bring them together. They then engage in a long\, uninterrupted seminar (referred to as main lesson in elementary and middle school) to activate their minds\, followed by music and elective classes to spark emotional expression. Music classes and elective courses promote the development of healthy emotional expression through creation. \nHigh School Music\nRegarding music\, all high school students participate in chorus\, with the option to participate in either music ensemble or orchestra until their senior year. Students new to DWS and who have not played their instrument before are strongly encouraged to take private lessons. \nHands-On Learning of Real-World Skills\nStudents apply what they’ve learned theoretically to scenarios in the real world. For example\, a study of soil composition could be applied to a chemistry lesson on acids and bases\, as well as a close reading of The Grapes of Wrath\, and a course in black-and-white photography in which they learn to develop their own film. \nRhythm of Thinking\, Feeling\, and Willing\nOur goal is to expose our high school students to academic wealth\, and demonstrate to them that all knowledge is valuable to encourage their pursuit of wisdom throughout life. \nThe high school curriculum revisits themes and subjects periodically to strengthen functional knowledge. Students cultivate their ability to think critically\, organize ideas and information\, and clearly present thoughts through an academically challenging mix of math\, English\, humanities\, physics\, life sciences\, chemistry\, world language\, practical\, industrial and fine arts\, chorus\, orchestra\, drama\, and physical education.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery el_id=”gallery-153447″ medias=”4695433\,4695439\,4695434\,4695438\,4695436\,4695440\,4695437\,4695526″ gutter_size=”1″ media_items=”media|lightbox|original\,icon|xl” screen_lg=”1000″ screen_md=”600″ screen_sm=”480″ single_width=”6″ single_overlay_opacity=”50″ single_h_align=”center” single_padding=”2″][vc_column_text] \nAbout 91̽\n91̽ is an urban pre-K through 12 independent school in Colorado.

As a culmination of the students’ studies\, they participate in a Pentathlon\, which is an athletic event based on the ancient Greek games. As with all aspects of our Waldorf curriculum\, the event is designed to relate directly to the students’ learning and development\, bringing relevancy and enthusiasm for their studies. Grouped into five City States- Sparta\, Athens\, Corinth\, Ithaca\, and Thebes\, the students compete in the following events: \n\nLong run\nLong jump\nDiscus\nSprint\nJavelin\nWrestling\n\nThroughout their training and also on the day of the event\, students observe the nobility\, compassion\, and uprightness of each athlete. This also provides an alternate understanding of competition to what is often displayed in our modern popular culture.\nIn preparation for the festivities\, the students also write odes to their favorite Greek goddess or god and recite their compositions to those gathered as part of the opening ceremonies. The ritual opening\, with the lighting of the torch and the offering of poems\, very much sets a beautiful tone for the day. While the children put forth their best efforts in achieving results in speed and distance\, more important is their display of grace\, beauty\, and form.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nAbout 91̽\n91̽ is an urban pre-K through 12 independent school in Colorado.

Hosted by the Denver Waldorf Racial Justice Parent Group\, the Gear and Item Exchange is your opportunity to sort through your own spring and summer belongings — clothing\, gear\, household items\, toys; think camping items\, bikes\, balls\, hoops and cleats — to give\, sell or exchange with other families. \nDate: Sunday\, May 15\, 2022 \nTime: 2-5pm \nLocation: DWS \nBring a blanket or table to display your items. Popsicles will be served\, and cash donations for popsicles will go to your choice of either our school 91̽ ’s scholarship fund or solar campaign. \nWhy a Gear/Item Exchange?\nRacial justice is climate Justice\, and climate justice is racial justice. Climate change disproportionately impacts BIPOC communities around the world — communities that generally contribute less to greenhouse gas emissions and lack the resources that wealthy\, predominantly white communities have to adapt to climate change. And did you know that a majority of Goodwill donations end up in the landfill? \nPlus\, a gear and item exchange is a great way to actively involve your children in becoming part of the conversation that climate justice and racial justice are inextricably linked. \nAbout the Denver Waldorf Racial Justice Parent Group\nThe RJPG formed in the Fall of 2020 as a response to the growing desire within the DWS community to ensure that the relevant and needed topic of racial justice was talked about throughout the school year and remained a topic of discourse that lifted up all people—including and centering around BIPOC voices. \nWe are committed to exploring the issues of racial justice through fostering a safe\, open\, warm and non-judgmental container by which to deepen our awareness through studying\, growing and taking action together.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_custom_heading]Textile Waste in America[/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”4696454″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_custom_heading]Learn More[/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]Have questions about the Gear and Item Exchange?
