Academics are the top priority at Rotman Arts & Science School (RASS). This Kindergarten to Grade 12 school provides small class sizes that allow instructors to focus on the development of individual learners. Students are encouraged to be self-motivated and to actively participate in their own education. RASS also fosters lifelong learning and development and nurtures students’ intellectual and emotional growth to help them to make positive contributions to Canadian society. Students practice discipline, self-management, and responsibility, and learn to think critically and creatively. RASS was founded in 2004 to combine academic education with professional arts training, offer unique opportunities for advanced courses and independent study, and enable students to pursue their individual interests.
Not all Waldorf programs are created the same, and the Toronto Waldorf School is a great example of that. As every school, it has a character of its own, a product of the community it serves. It offers a full preschool through Grade 12 program, throughout displaying a commitment to active learning, process over product, and cross-curricular, collaborative learning. Families that enroll typically are also attracted by an overt attention to ethics, environmental stewardship, interpersonal values, and the encouragement of individual expression. While the curriculum is strong, it’s often that values piece that tips the balance. The ideal student is one who will thrive in an interactive learning environment that builds from the students' talents, interests, and curiosities.

Liberal Arts curricula share with traditional programs their emphasis on core knowledge-acquisition, but tend to borrow more best practices from the progressive approach. A Liberal Arts program might still feature group work and projects, for example, contrary to the more singular emphasis on tests and essays at a Traditional program.
Waldorf schools are available from preschool to Grade 12, though they are most popular at the younger ages. Waldorf schools are unmistakably "progressive". Rudolf Steiner, their intellectual forefather, believed the educator's first task should be to help students develop an aesthetic appreciation for life and learning. Sometimes incorrectly conflated with Montessori schools, Waldorf schools focus on developing the "whole child" - emphasizing collaborative, hands-on learning, along with the arts and music, which are integrated into other areas of study.
Reggio Emilia programs are offered by some schools at the preschool and elementary level. The approach aims to develop curiosity and problem-solving skills through the liberal use of projects (as opposed to activities or lessons): teachers design projects for children around their demonstrated interests. Projects can be geared to an individual student, a small group of students, or the class as a whole. They can last from a few days to the whole year. Art is strongly emphasized and is typically incorporated into every project. Teachers actively participate in projects alongside students, rather than sitting back and observing. The philosophy calls for a high degree of parent involvement as well, particularly when forming curricula and project plans (which happens throughout the academic year).
Not applicable
The Waldorf curriculum revolves around child development and the key concept of "doing the right thing at the right time." An emphasis on a three-fold approach, integrating "head, heart and hands" is a fundamental component in all classes. Cross-curricular connections are made wherever possible, using arts, movement, music and drama in the learning process, bringing greater engagement and emotional connection to the child's experience.
Equal Balance
These math programs feature an equal balance of “Traditional” and “Discovery” methods.
These math programs feature an equal balance of “Traditional” and “Discovery” methods.
By incorporating both traditional and discovery methods into math programs, educators aim to strike a balance between foundational knowledge and the development of critical thinking skills. This approach recognizes that mathematical proficiency requires not only knowing how to perform calculations but also understanding why those calculations work and how they can be applied in various contexts.
See our Teaching Approach in the Lower School: http://www.torontowaldorfschool.com/lower_school/teaching_methods/index.php#.VtiYJubju4M and in the High School: http://www.torontowaldorfschool.com/high_school/deeper_perspective_on_HS/index.php#.VtiYm-bju4M

Calculators are not used until later in middle school - sometimes even as late as Grade 8. The focus is instead on mental math, pen and paper math thus ensuring a concept has been deeply cemented before moving to the tool to aid in calculations.
Balanced Literacy
Balanced reading programs are typically Whole Language programs with supplementary phonics training. This training might be incidental, or it might take the form of mini-lessons.
Balanced reading programs are typically Whole Language programs with supplementary phonics training. This training might be incidental, or it might take the form of mini-lessons.
The key advantage of this approach is its flexibility. It acknowledges that reading is a complex skill that requires a combination of strategies. By blending Whole Language with supplementary phonics, balanced reading programs cater to the diverse needs of students. They allow learners to use their understanding of whole words and context, while also equipping them with the tools to decode unfamiliar words systematically. Ultimately, balanced reading programs aim to create proficient and confident readers by harnessing the strengths of both approaches.

Programs that balance systematic and process approaches equally likely have an emphasis on giving young students ample opportunities to write, while providing supplementary class-wide instruction in grammar, parts of sentences, and various writing strategies.
Balanced literacy programs offer supplementary instruction in grammar, sentence structure, and various writing strategies. This instruction is designed to equip students with the necessary tools to refine and enhance their writing. It helps them understand the mechanics of language, develop a command of grammar rules, and craft well-structured, coherent sentences and paragraphs.

Inquiry
Science programs that balance expository and inquiry learning equally will likely have an equal blend of tests and experiments; direct, textbook-based instruction and student-centred projects.
Inquiry-based science emphasizes teaching science as a way of thinking or practice, and therefore tries to get students “doing” science as much as possible -- and not just “learning” it. Students still learn foundational scientific ideas and content (and build on this knowledge progressively); however, relative to expository science instruction, inquiry-based programs have students spend more time developing and executing their own experiments (empirical and theoretical). Students are frequently challenged to develop critical and scientific-thinking skills by developing their own well-reasoned hypothesis and finding ways to test those hypotheses. Projects and experiments are emphasized over textbook learning. Skills are emphasized over breadth of knowledge.
Science programs that blend expository and inquiry learning empower students to become well-rounded scientists, capable of both understanding scientific theories and actively contributing to the advancement of scientific knowledge through experimentation and exploration.

Thematic
Usually focused on teaching history and geography at an early age, the core knowledge approach uses story, drama, reading, and discussion to teach about significant people, places, and events. Breadth of content and knowledge is emphasized. The curriculum is often organized according to the underlying logic of the content: history might be taught sequentially, for example (as students move through the grades).
The Thematic approach organizes the curriculum around certain themes or cultural universals. Students might spend time focused on food. Then they might focus on transportation or government, and so on.
What sets Core Knowledge apart is its commitment to breadth of content. It aims to expose students to a wide range of knowledge, fostering an understanding of the interconnectedness of different subjects. For instance, history may be taught sequentially, ensuring that students acquire a chronological understanding of historical events and their consequences. This approach acknowledges that a solid foundation of knowledge equips students with the tools to think critically, make connections, and engage with complex ideas effectively. By emphasizing the acquisition of content knowledge, the Core Knowledge approach prepares students to become informed and well-rounded individuals capable of tackling a broad array of academic and real-world challenges.

These programs represent an equal balance between the perennialist and pragmatic approach to teaching the humanities and social sciences.
In balanced programs, students benefit from the best of both worlds. They engage with classical texts and enduring ideas, gaining a deep appreciation for the intellectual heritage of human thought. Simultaneously, they explore practical, real-world issues, developing critical thinking skills and an ability to apply their knowledge to contemporary challenges. By striking this equilibrium, students not only develop a strong foundation in the humanities and social sciences but also acquire the analytical and problem-solving abilities needed to navigate a complex and ever-changing world effectively. It ensures a holistic and relevant education that prepares students for both intellectual enrichment and practical success.

By combining both approaches, language programs offer students the opportunity to develop a balanced skill set. Learners gain the benefits of the audio-lingual method's precision and grammar mastery, ensuring a strong foundation. Simultaneously, they acquire the communicative approach's ability to use language effectively in practical, everyday situations, fostering fluency and real-world communication skills. This balanced approach acknowledges that language learning is not merely about rules and structures but also about meaningful interaction and expression. It equips learners with the tools to both understand the mechanics of a language and use it confidently and naturally in diverse contexts.

These programs have an equal emphasis on receptive and creative learning.
An equal emphasis on both receptive and creative learning recognizes that education is a dynamic process. Students need the ability to absorb information effectively and then apply that knowledge in innovative and practical ways. This balance ensures that learners not only understand concepts but can also use them to analyze, synthesize, and contribute meaningfully to their fields of study. In essence, programs that embrace both receptive and creative learning empower students to become well-rounded, adaptable, and resourceful thinkers and doers, capable of thriving in a variety of academic and real-world contexts.

Light integration
Effort is made to integrate the development of digital literacy through the curriculum. However, this is not a dominant focus.
Computers are used in the classroom from time to time, but integrating technology into everything students do is not a dominant focus. Digital literacy is understood to be a legitimate skill in the 21st century, but not one that should distract from teaching the subject at hand, or more fundamental skills and literacies. The idea is today’s students, being “digital natives”, are likely exposed to computers and new media enough outside the classroom: the role of the school, rather, should be to develop competencies that may otherwise get missed.
The approach acknowledges that digital literacy is a tool that enhances learning and prepares students for the modern world but is most effective when integrated seamlessly into the broader context of education. This allows students to leverage digital skills as part of their overall educational experience without overshadowing the importance of traditional knowledge and critical thinking.
The Waldorf perspective is that computer exposure should not be based on capability but on developmental appropriateness. Computers and digital technology are not part of the early grades curriculum, although mechanical technology and the practical arts are incorporated at all levels. In our school, Grade 7 and above can access to our computer lab and time in the lab is balanced with Cyber Civics- discussions about the role of technology in our lives, social media and how one can trust information on the web. We strive to give our students to tools to understand the history of computing and how to keep the human being at the centre of our relationship to technology.

Waldorf
Academic-based preschools and Kindergartens are the most structured of the different types, and have a strong emphasis on math and reading readiness skills. These programs aim to expose children to what early-elementary school is like. While time is still allotted to free play, much of the day is built around explicit lessons guided by the teacher. Classrooms often resemble play-based ones (with different stations set up around the room), but at an Academic program the teacher leads students through the stations directly, and ties these activities to a whole-class lesson or theme.
Highly group-oriented and with a strong emphasis on creative and imaginative play, Waldorf preschool and Kindergarten programs have very little to no emphasis on academics. A Waldorf environment will often feel more like a home than a traditional classroom -- the goal being to instill comfort and and a sense of predictability in students’ day. This emphasis on comfort and predictability also manifests through a heavy use of repetition: for example, teachers might read the same story multiple days in a row. Waldorf schools ask parents to refrain from offering children TV or computers at home, and aim to develop in children a connection to the natural world. If you want to learn more about Waldorf education, check out our comprehensive guide.
Toronto Waldorf School's early years programs have a play-based approach and learning through experience, art and movement. Healthy rhythm and routine, ample outdoor time as well as time for rest are built into each day. Participation in crafts, painting and chores are some of the daily activities of the preschool and kindergarten child. A rich oral story telling tradition, including puppet shows, help build the young child's language capacities as well as imaginative thinking.
Standard-enriched
Broadly-speaking, the main curriculum -- like that of most schools -- paces the provincially-outlined one. This pace is steady and set by the teachers and school. The curriculum might still be enriched in various ways: covering topics more in-depth and with more vigor than the provincial one, or covering a broader selection of topics.

Supportive
A school with a “supportive” academic culture focuses more on process than short-term outcomes: academic performance is a welcomed side-benefit, but not the driving focus. This does not mean the school lacks standards, or has low expectations for its students: a school can have a supportive academic culture and still light the fire of ambition in its students. It does mean, however, the school provides a less intensive culture than schools with a “rigorous” academic classification, and is focused more simply on instilling a love of learning and life-long curiosity.

We emphasize collaboration over competition, fostering an environment where students are encouraged to help and support each other in their academic endeavors. Mistakes are viewed as opportunities for learning, and failure is seen as a stepping stone to improvement rather than a source of shame.
