[quote=Anonymous]Chris Whittle never stops wowing people. This is an email sent from Whittle Management: Dear Whittle Families, We are forwarding to you the contact information for the only two independent schools that have reached out to Whittle. One is a regional school and the second is an “online school” experience at Avenues Online. Messages from the two schools: Washington Waldorf School We wish to extend to you an invitation to come visit Washington Waldorf School to see if it would be a good fit for your family. While we do not have spaces available at all ages/grades, we hope that we can accommodate some of you. Waldorf Education offers a rich, connected education in which the arts, movement and academics are integrated throughout a student's day. For our youngest children, our focus is on play, imagination, and time in the beautiful outdoors. As students get older, stories and narrative drive the curriculum. Students explore the diversity of the human experience and the ways humankind views and interprets the world -- a process that encourages them to find their own place in our human story. By high school, they are engaging with content that varies from Comedy and Tragedy to Atomic Chemistry, from History of Art to Computer Architecture. Students graduate Washington Waldorf with a sense of who they are and what their purpose is. I wish you all the best as you search for a new school for your family. If WWS might be a fit for you, please reach out to me or my colleague, Emily Bliss. We can both be reached at enrollment@washingtonwaldorf.org. Warm regards, Torie Gorges Avenues Online Our Director of Admissions and Enrollment for Avenues Online is Patrick Bredehoft (patrick.bredehoft@avenues.org) and he will personally correspond with any Whittle DC family that might be seeking to continue a globally-situated, project-based approach to learning. What may be of particular interest to your families is the fact that Avenues does support an admissions-to-one-admissions-to-all approach, so that even if Avenues Online is their initial entreé into our ecosystem, if they are looking to explore opportunities in New York, São Paulo, Shenzhen, Silicon Valley, and (soon) Miami, we are happy to illuminate these possibilities. Thank you.[/quote]
