Curriculum and Activities
The school follows a typical curriculum for Waldorf schools in California. Due to the agricultural nature of the Davis area, and the number of organic farms in the area, gardening and field trips to work on farms are a natural program. Davis Waldorf students raised money to start a kindergarten in Tanzania.
The school has a music program, that includes workshops for the broader community.

Famous quotes containing the words curriculum and/or activities:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.”
—Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)
