What's up with Waldorf High School?

Imagine asking your high schooler, “how was school today?” and receiving an engaged and enthusiastic response. That is the wonder of The Denver Waldorf High School. In this week’s episode, Kelly Molinet (School Director) and Charlie Orphanides (Education Director) take a deep dive into what makes our high school such an engaging, unique, and fulfilling experience. High school should be challenging, not a grind, and it should open up new opportunities, not foreclose possibilities. Listen to their conversation to hear how we cultivate a learning environment with depth, purposeful intensity, curiosity, and joy as our students prepare for their journeys beyond DWS.

What's up with Community at DWS?

On this week's episode, Kelly Mollinet (our School Director) and Charlie Orphanides (our Educational Director) discuss the question: "what's up with community at The Denver Waldorf School?" Our families, our students, and our educators choose this community with love and intentionality. But what does it mean to join a diverse community? How can we move from curiosity and interest to deep enthusiasm for the journey of our fellow community members? And where do we find the courage, heart, and vulnerability to show up as our authentic selves? Join Kelly and Charlie for an exploration of the ways in which community serves as the glue for everything we do at The Denver Waldorf School!

An Alumni Spotlight - Ian Connolly

For this week's podcast episode, we are grateful to be able to catch up with DWS alum, Ian Connolly from the class of 2015. He is a legal scholar, a whitewater river rafting guide, and a key contributor to community environmental nonprofits. He was recently awarded the Wyss Scholarship, which seeks to support a new generation of leaders focused on land conservation issues. Ian is currently a third-year law student at Lewis & Clark Law School with a focus on environmental and Native American law. We appreciated the chance to sit down with Ian and hear his reflections on how his Waldorf journey shaped who he is today. Episode notes referenced by Ian: https://canyonsinc.com/rivers/main-salmon/

On this week's podcast, DWS high school students ask and answer the tough questions about smartphone use -- and some of their answers may surprise you! Rising 12th grader, Oscar, interviews his fellow high school students on the positives and negatives of smartphone use, the appropriate age for a student to receive that first device, and advice for students and parents alike when navigating the world opened up by a smartphone. Honest and heartfelt, these students offer wisdom and practical tips for healthful smartphone use in these modern days.

What's up with Technology?

What's up with technology at DWS? The Waldorf approach to education has always emphasized the importance of giving room to our children's imaginations to blossom - to be open to receive the beauty of the world we live in, to be free to grow into their unique selves, to nurture their creative spirits - and time away from technology is a significant part of this belief. At the same time, our Waldorf school is not inherently anti-technology. Yes, you will not find iPads or computers in our kindergartens or lower grades. Yes, our students are asked to leave any phones that come to school in their lockers during the day. And while in our classrooms you will see the focus is on the human to human connection between teacher and student, we do however integrate technology in an intentional and developmentally appropriate manner. Our high school has a wonderful Mac lab and 3D printer. We have introduced assistive technology for neurodiverse students starting in 4th grade. With technology touching every corner of our lives these days, on this week's podcast episode with School Director Kelly Molinet and Education Director Charlie Orphanides, they discuss the challenges and opportunities of raising children in this ever changing world.
