The Walk to School

We might be overdoing the mention of our location to the school, but we are thrilled about it. Being so close makes our days much more relaxed. Isabella has picked up Xavier at his classroom and walked him home from school these last two days - they both prefer this to me meeting them at the school.

I was surprised to find that the children here go to school half days, even in the grades. Isabella has one full day of school a week, but comes home for lunch. So, it ends up that both kids have very similar schedules, starting at 8:20 a.m. and ending at 12:10 p.m. On Tuesdays, Izzi finishes her day at 3:05 p.m.

This is the view to the school from the outside steps of our building. There is a crosswalk and then the long driveway to the main school building, barely visible in the back of this photo.

The building on the right houses the school store, parent cafe, the preschool rooms and two staff apartments.

The photo below is the entrance to the main school building where both Isabella's and Xavier's room can be found. The grounds used to be a working farm that was donated to the Waldorf (Steiner) school.
