4worldlovers: As experts in early childhood and elementary school education, we know that a nurturing environment, authentic relationships and opportunities for exploration provide the necessary framework for student success, achievement and well-being.

While regularly ranking among Alberta’s top schools, we are as different from other schools as our students are from one another. At River Valley School, we celebrate children for who they are today.

The wonder children possess is encouraged, stimulated and celebrated through our inquiry-based programming where learning is focused on big ideas and questions that engage them. We know that when a child’s curiosity is piqued, it makes for deeper, more profound learning.

Wonder lives in discovering your personal best through exposure to specialized educators and unique experiences.

Our curriculum, activities and group projects are ground in design thinking, which gives students a road map toa) identify a challenge, b) gather information, c) generate ideas, and d) test solutions. Both indoors and out, we provide conditions and ways of learning to “stretch” the students’ creative muscles, not only in Music, Art and Drama classes, but in all subjects.

As a community, we learn and grow together respecting the values, opinions and beliefs of all students, teachers, administrators, and our parents. We work together in close partnerships to create a school where learners feel known, safe, confident. Within our supportive climate, students become joyful, passionate learners and know they are safe to try new things, make mistakes, discover new approaches, and explore innovative ways of seeing, contributing to and changing the world. We invite you to visit our school to witness the wonder.

Wonder lives in a school with adaptive, innovative and inspiring learning spaces

On December 1st 2021, River Valley School proudly finalized the purchase of our current school site at 3127 Bowwood Drive NW.

Central to Waldorf education is a deep respect for childhood. Our enriched curriculum is designed to meet the child’s specific developmental needs. Movement and time in nature is built into every student’s daily rhythm. The Waldorf learning experience is hands-on, with unwired and low-tech classrooms. The arts — music, story, drawing, painting, and drama — are interwoven through all subjects.

I wanted to thank you for all of your support over the last few months. You have really made this an easy transition given the circumstances. It is clear how much effort you have put in personally to ensure the children continue to have a Waldorf experience. I have so appreciated learning some of how Waldorf teaches our children. Thank you for keeping us so organized and making it easy for us to follow the schedule and the work needing to be done every week. Who knew you were a Youtuber! I have always appreciated teachers from a far, however. having him tell us continually “Ms. Loree doesn’t do it that way” has been very humbling. I realize how connected he is to you and the structure you have provided. We are so lucky to have a teacher who is so loving and truly loves what she does. We are so blessed that you teach our son every day.

I hope you are now able to spend quality time with your family. Enjoy your summer!
