The Ages and Stages Series

Welcome to the Ages & Stages Series from the Art of Homeschooling podcast!

This is a wonderful library of episodes for you to refer back to again and again as your children grow through the ages and stages of Waldorf homeschooling.

Each episode covers the developmental characteristics of each grade along with specific Waldorf-inspired main lesson block topics and how they meet the child developmentally. Also included are recommended resources and supplies for homeschooling each grade.

These are general recommendations and guidelines painted in broad brushstrokes. Because it’s helpful to zoom out occasionally and see how the journey unfolds as children grow.

Above all, you’ll learn how to observe your child and make decisions about how to customize your homeschooling curriculum, whether you use a packaged curriculum or design your own. Because you know your child best!
