In our early childhood classrooms, students develop the foundation for math with rhythmic activity, movement, games, real work, and lots of play. From early childhood across the grades, the Cape Ann Waldorf School math curriculum unfolds in a meaningful and coordinated way.

This multi-sensory, experiential approach leads to stronger understanding, better recall and eager anticipation for taking on their next challenge.
