Waldorf Essentials Class One
A complete Waldorf homeschool curriculum
for a joyful and confident Class One year.
★★★★★ Loved by thousands of homeschooling families.
From beautiful lesson plans and teacher training to planning tools, handwork, and festivals, every element is thoughtfully created to bring confidence, rhythm, and support to your homeschool journey.
In Waldorf education, we see first grade as the bridge between kindergarten and the grades. They are taller and older than last year and they now have the capacity to sit for longer stories and do the head work that begins in first grade.
“Receive the children in reverence, educate them in love, and send them forth in freedom.”
— Rudolf Steiner

We have used several different Waldorf curriculums over the years, but Waldorf Essentials is by far the best. The curriculum is creative, complete and parent friendly, the planning is amazing and the support is next level! I have three children (two now grown) and have used it for all of them, with no regrets. I highly recommend!

We love Waldorf Essentials! I started homeschooling my daughter in 4th grade and felt overwhelmed with all of the choices, but knew that Waldorf was for us. Melisa and her team are so wonderful! The Thinking Feeling Willing program got us on the right path and we are enjoying our second year of homeschooling with Waldorf Essentials. I love all of the content that comes with the program and the community that comes along. Thank you!

From one Waldorf homeschooler to another you are going to love the amount of support and resources you have access to when you join the Waldorf Essentials community. We have homeschooled from the beginning and browsed all the options before deciding what was best for our family. Years later Waldorf Essentials is my top recommendation for homeschool curriculum! You have options to as little and as much structure and support as you'd like. If you want to thrive in your homeschooling, having community and dive deeper into your understanding of Waldorf Education I can't recommend Waldorf Essentials enough.
