OCS addresses the Common Core State Standards through the mindful implementation of public Waldorf education. Our curriculum is built on a foundation of creativity, equity and self-confidence that grows with each child to balance imagination, critical thinking and academic excellence. This foundation, combined with a focus on ecological and cultural responsibility, nurtures a sense of delight and wonder about the world, as well as stewardship of nature and humanity. Our goal is to graduate students who will positively shape our society, rather than merely reflecting it. Our curriculum is designed to provide support, access and opportunity to empower students with the knowledge they matter as individuals and shapes not only their own lives, but, ultimately, our shared future.
