Screens can wait
At Charlottesville Waldorf School, electronic media and technology are not introduced into classrooms until middle school. This no/low-tech approach prepares children for an uncertain future by fostering adaptability, critical thinking, and creativity. By minimizing reliance on digital technology, students develop strong foundational skills such as problem-solving, collaboration, and communication.
