WALDORF SCHOOL<br />
THE ART OF ACADEMICS<br />
ANNUAL<br />
REPORT<br />
2008 - 2009
An Innovative Education<br />
The future belongs to the creative – artists, storytellers, inventors, green designers – those who can think originally. We are shifting from a society dependent on<br />
logical and linear thinkers to those who use creativity in problem-solving, imagination in their communication and empathy in their every action. At <strong>Kimberton</strong><br />
<strong>Waldorf</strong> <strong>School</strong>, we equip students with the tools to not only survive but thrive in such an environment.<br />
The future needs heroic thinkers. At <strong>Kimberton</strong> <strong>Waldorf</strong> <strong>School</strong>, a student’s capacities unfold gently without an emphasis on testing. They are inspired learners<br />
and creative problem solvers, ready to face the future with the ability to combine seemingly unrelated ideas into a cross-disciplinary experience. They are adept<br />
at understanding the intricacies of human interaction. Our rich academic curriculum is infused with possibilities and opportunities, beauty and idealism to create the<br />
foundation for unique thinking and action.<br />

From the Treasurer<br />
Creating a Van de Graaff generator is one of the<br />
physics projects that students complete. Students<br />
are provided experiences in the sciences that<br />
strengthen and reinforce their own inclination to<br />
experiment, explore and question. The result is<br />
that science is perceived as fun.<br />
What a difference a year makes! It was only a year ago that we were reporting on<br />
the solid financial footing the school had achieved. While this is still the case, it<br />
seems that the rest of the world fell off a financial cliff last year. Thank goodness<br />
that <strong>Kimberton</strong> is in good shape, because many in the community need our<br />
support more than ever before. The economic crisis of the past year has hit our<br />
community hard and has had repercussions on our budget and cash flow.<br />
The budget we set for last year was balanced and prudent. Faculty and<br />
staff at the school did an outstanding job of controlling expenses. However, many<br />
of our families were under dire economic stress and, as a result, fell into arrears on<br />
their scheduled tuition payments. The result was a shortfall in expected revenue.<br />
This shortfall was closed at the end of the year by drawing the needed funds from<br />
our endowment so that we could close the books for the end of the year audit. The<br />
Board stipulated that any payments on the arrears that were received over the<br />
course of this year should be put directly into the endowment to replace these<br />
funds and, indeed, we have already collected over a third of the amount drawn<br />
from the endowment. We expect to replace most, if not all, of the draw over the<br />
course of this school year.<br />
These are extraordinary times and this school year will be challenging<br />
from a financial perspective, but it is also a time of opportunity. Our endowment,<br />
having withstood the winds of the market collapse last year, still stands at over $2<br />
million and the school is still debt free. We remain on solid financial ground.<br />
However, we note that our parents, faculty and staff are struggling. The Board of<br />
Trustees is committed to extending help where appropriate, and it hopes that<br />
others will help where they can as well.<br />
We are excited to implement new programs that we anticipate will help us to<br />
continue to thrive. <strong>Waldorf</strong> Works is one example. Our intention to reach further into<br />
the community is already paying off. Wait lists in the early childhood program can<br />
only be a sign that more prosperous times are around the corner. We welcome a<br />
time of abundance in the years to come.<br />

Music, Art and Movement ARE the Basics<br />
In grades one through eight, children learn best through direct experiences<br />
that stir their emotions and trigger their imaginations. We meet this need by<br />
presenting subjects pictorially and dramatically, while cultivating their powers<br />
of imagination and creativity. Drawing, painting, poetry, recitation, drama,<br />
singing and playing a musical instrument all build academic skills that<br />
deepen comprehension. Subjects as diverse as mathematics and<br />
grammar, carpentry and knitting, sports and foreign language are taught<br />
imaginatively and artistically in widely divergent ways.<br />
Each year, the curriculum offers content appropriate to the child’s<br />
development. This approach allows motivation to arise from within, laying<br />
the foundation for joyful lifelong learning.

Navigating the Emerging Landscape<br />
High tech is no longer enough. Tomorrow’s leaders need to be adept at creating artistic and emotional beauty, identifying opportunities, crossing boundaries,<br />
seeing the big picture and being able to combine what appears to be unrelated ideas into a fresh, new whole. They will strive to discover the purpose and<br />
meaning in their lives for the ultimate goal of changing the world.<br />
While other schools are teaching to the test, <strong>Kimberton</strong> <strong>Waldorf</strong> <strong>School</strong> is building the character of our students and testing the limits of their creative problemsolving<br />
abilities. We are investing in the minds and hearts of the leaders of tomorrow by producing people who think holistically.<br />
Our curriculum has been finely honed over the course of our nearly 70-year history. We integrate art and academics in a methodology that adds richness to both.<br />
We develop analytical thinkers with imaginative minds capable of producing prolific, life-changing ideas. These are the young people who will define the world of<br />
tomorrow and they will do so by redefining everyone’s conception of intelligence and originality.<br />
Inspired children and young men and women are engaged and involved learners. And when they graduate from <strong>Kimberton</strong> to attend some of the nation’s leading<br />
universities, they do so as creative thinkers whose capacities for both analysis and imagination are not only treasured, but sought.
<strong>Kimberton</strong>…creating solutions.<br />
* <strong>Kimberton</strong> received high marks for its educational program from two<br />
accreditation bodies, the Association of <strong>Waldorf</strong> <strong>School</strong>s of North America<br />
(AWSNA) and Middle States Association of Colleges and <strong>School</strong>s. The<br />
report concludes with, “plaudits on preparing your pupils to become<br />
competent and caring individuals in our ever-evolving world!”<br />
* The Pew Charitable Trusts pledged $250,000 for grounds improvements<br />
including the renovation of the historic and architecturally-significant glasspaned<br />
roof in the middle school.<br />
* <strong>Kimberton</strong> was one of five organizations to receive a grant from Tree<br />
Vitalize through the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and National<br />
Resources and the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. The grant allowed<br />
the restoration and expansion of an area of 20,700 sq. ft. of riparian buffer<br />
along the French Creek as the first phase of the school’s anticipated<br />
“Greening” projects.<br />
* The Green Committee was formed in 2008 and an energy audit has been<br />
completed.<br />
* Twenty students from the Class of 2009 were offered nearly $700K in merit<br />
scholarships and awards.<br />
* <strong>Kimberton</strong> high school students followed the yellow brick road during their<br />
production of L. Frank Baum’s “Wizard of Oz.”<br />
* Through the support of generous grandparents, <strong>Kimberton</strong> launched a<br />
honey bee program utilizing hives built by students.<br />
* An overarching goal of the <strong>Waldorf</strong> curriculum is to provide students with<br />
the foundation to develop into moral and integrated individuals. The school<br />
seeks to cultivate the students’ sense of social responsibility. High school<br />
students logged an estimated 5,000 hours of community service during the<br />
2008-2009 school year.<br />
* <strong>Kimberton</strong> offered an interactive workshop, “Nurturing the Young Child,”<br />
featuring international lecturer and author, Cynthia Aldinger, executive<br />
director of LifeWays North America.<br />
* <strong>Kimberton</strong>’s Girls Varsity Basketball team reached a new level of<br />
excellence by finishing their Tri-County League schedule undefeated. The<br />
Girls Varsity Lacrosse team shared the same outstanding title.<br />
* Four tenth graders participated in a six-month, 600-mile wilderness<br />
expedition by ski and canoe. The Kroka Expeditions Semester Program<br />
awakens a student’s connection to nature, conscious living and service.<br />
* Seventh and eighth graders juggled, performed with unicycles, tumbled<br />
and delighted their audience with humorous antics as part of the Seven<br />
Stars Circus program. The circus program promotes increased balance<br />
and coordination in a non-competitive, creative and fun setting.<br />
* Eleventh graders took real pleasure in completing their physics<br />
projects, designing a Wimshurst machine, DC motors and Van de Graaf<br />
generators. Students are provided experiences in the sciences that<br />
strengthen and reinforce their own inclination to experiment, explore<br />
and question.

Senior Projects<br />
In their senior year, students have an option to do an original in-depth<br />
project that they later present to the greater <strong>Kimberton</strong> community. It is often<br />
the culmination of their high school experience and demonstrates<br />
the poise, polish and professionalism of these students.<br />

Bringing the World Together<br />
Typically 20 to 40 percent of <strong>Kimberton</strong> <strong>Waldorf</strong> <strong>School</strong>’s high school students<br />
participate in an international study experience with most foreign exchanges<br />
occurring in the tenth grade.<br />
The end product isn’t fluency. It’s the flexibility of creative thinking. Many students<br />
travel to non-English speaking countries to broaden their language skills. To study<br />
abroad helps a student grow in every way you can imagine, complementing the<br />
<strong>Waldorf</strong> curriculum. Over the years, <strong>Kimberton</strong> has exchanged or hosted students<br />
from Germany, France, Switzerland, Peru, Spain, Sweden, Great Britain, Scotland,<br />
Austria and New Zealand.<br />
Developing an understanding of other cultures begins in first grade with Spanish<br />
and German language classes, and includes a study of ancient and modern cultures<br />
throughout the curriculum. Last year, the fifth grade students learned Greek to<br />
compliment their study of ancient civilizations, and in sixth grade they learned Latin to<br />
enhance their study of Roman history. The <strong>School</strong> also has a diverse student<br />
population representing dozens of countries around the world. The <strong>School</strong>’s<br />
philosophy is to encourage students to embrace those that come from outside our<br />
borders.<br />

for the cyclical learning model that <strong>Waldorf</strong> follows—the<br />
wisdom to revisit the same subjects several times throughout<br />
the process of growing up. At <strong>Kimberton</strong> I can remember<br />
revisiting Greek mythology in 10 th grade and learning the same<br />
material again but understanding it differently than I had when I<br />
explored it previously. As I look toward beginning a Masters<br />

businesses with a tax credit<br />

essence, a business redirects<br />
the majority of its PA<br />

scholarship organization of its<br />
choice. <strong>Kimberton</strong> <strong>Waldorf</strong><br />

the State of Pennsylvania,<br />
and we are grateful to the<br />
