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. Our emphasis on hands-on learning encourages curiosity and resilience, qualities essential for navigating an ever-changing world. Additionally, by engaging with natural materials and exploring the arts, children cultivate an appreciation for beauty, craftsmanship, and sustainability, equipping them with the values and skills necessary to thrive in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
