Island Waldorf School’s first Summer Program is founded on the principles of Waldorf education.

They aim at providing a balanced experience of doing, feeling and thinking in a way that stimulates (unplugged!) fun, creativity and a sense of well-being. This thoughtful mix of indoor and outdoor activities will create a gentle rhythm that nourishes the child’s developing coordination, cooperation and creativity.

Each day will be a joyful journey through imaginative play, circle games, songs and stories. There will be time for focused activity and free and creative play each day.

Children aged 4 to 8 will enjoy a harmonious environment where rhythm and structure encourage opportunities for play and artistic activities, including songs, games, water play, storytelling, puppet shows, crafts, woodwork, pottery, beewax modeling, watercolour painting, and more!

The great outdoors, right here in Hong Kong!

Each Friday kids will bus to one of the beaches of Hong Kong, swim in the water and play in the sand. Summer doesn’t get much better than this!

Healthy snacks = Healthy minds

Little people need lots of energy to grow. Every day teachers would prepare fresh fruits and make yummy baked food with the children’s help right in the classroom.

Breathe in, breathe out

The steady rhythm of expansive activities and quiet attention is vital in helping children integrate their external and internal experiences. This value is reflected in the comforting routines in a day, in a week, and in seasons at Waldorf schools.

For example, at this summer program, each day the younger children enjoys a peaceful rest after lunch. This starts with a story, then the children have some time to rest quietly, giving them the time and space needed to digest the activities of the morning and a short rest from social interaction.
