AN EDUCATION THAT FOLLOWS THE NATURAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN École Rudolf Steiner de Montréal is North America’s only private French Waldorf School. It offers a unique education that follows the natural development of children. This uniqueness is attracting a new generation of parents whose goal is to nurture their children with academics that are not forced but rather evolve with their unique rhythm. INFUSED WITH THE ARTS What better way to learn than by doing? Subjects are unified by the invaluable integration of the arts - whether drawing, playing, manual work, singing or dancing. Educating the whole child (mind, body and spirit) is paramount. Children learn subjects through storytelling, visual stimulation, and experience. ERSM follows the government curriculum, but with a unique approach.
