WTM Curriculum map


Here is the curriculum map for the wtm i found on their website:
one thing i realized this weekend after talking to a friend whose kids go to Aapi's schools is that I as a mom have to be on top of it all for my kids... the public schools, even as great as Irvine system is according to many, my child will be left behind 'cuz the system tries to weed out as they can...the Asian community is soooo aggressive in the academics of their children. I wonder what happens to them when you apply the CM philosophy, or the waldorf etc...I do wonder what the adult is like of these communities compared to the scandanavian individuals??

a blog on review of the curriculum...great overview of the philosophy...another blog review...

a blog review on differences on waldorf and WTM

a comment from a mom using the WTM on my irvine hsing group....
"I go by the word 'eclectic.' This seems to be the most comfortable fit for me
these days, because most other approaches defy a common definition. That said,
my concept of a classical education delights me, and is something I like to
promote when I can :). To me, the classical essence is insistence on depth.
"Much, not many," as someone recently quoted from the Latin. This principle has
made me reflective, humbled me, caused me hardship and occasional ostracism.
But, importantly, it is a source of intellectual satisfaction and genuine
comfort." Neela

on another mom's comment...
"She is also very good at staying on the path they have chosen (we are practically polar opposites- I change our homeschooling routine more than I change the oil in my car!) and I think this allows her to do so much- not being distracted by all the alternatives. Anyway their life is very full, the family is very close-knit and the kids are amazing (now 9, 11 & 15)." Tiffany

not being distracted...focused
