As part of our ongoing commitment to providing service to Waldorf homeschoolers, we at Christopherus are pleased to be able to offer more and more resources for parents with older children and teens. We know that there are far fewer resources out there for these students and our hope is to help fill some of the gap.

High School Notes

Donna has been teaching at a Waldorf-inspired high school and is eager to create a whole series of  High School Notes. These Notes will be fairly rough outlines, drawn from the classes that Donna teaches.  Likely topics include Zoology, Comedy and Tragedy (now published), American Government and Poetry.

In the meantime, we have a  list of high school literature texts, grade by grade.

Writing

One of Donna's real passions is for good writing (part of what underlies the Living Language book). She has taught writing classes for homeschoolers, in a Waldorf-inspired high school and via a local charter school in addition to teaching both of her sons at home into the high school years. She has also done remedial work with high school students in English on a one-on-one basis.In the past, Donna worked with homeschoolers via a Christopherus correspondence class called YoungWriters. Donna disbanded YoungWriters because she felt that much of her power as a teacher lies in the relationship with students in flesh and blood, in the playful banter, warmth and interest that can only really be cultivated when everyone's sitting in the same room together.
