In case necessary, we are prepared to shift to distance learning...
While it's not possible to replicate the learning activities our students experience on our campus, we believe that meaningful, engaging learning can happen at a distance.
At the Olympia Waldorf School, relationships matter, and the strong relationships we develop throughout the year—combined with the amazing flexibility and creativity of our teachers and students—have helped us implement distance-learning programs that support all of our students’ learning and well-being.
