Here is a new curriculum from the wonderful Orthodox Christian mothers whose blogs I often read:

(Update 12/10 — a kind mother pointed out to me this link is not working…here is the most up to date website I have: http://evlogiaonline.com/. Update 8/2014 – these links are not working. I believe the author has a new blog no longer focused on this curriculum and the work of this curriculum has been picked up by a different Orthodox mother. I think if you run a search you should be able to track it down).
This is a Orthodox Christian curriculum with some elements we find in Waldorf Education. The authors have been working on this for awhile, and now it is officially “unveiled”. I like how they showed so much honor to teaching through art, and their opening story of turning seven and being ready for more formal learning. Very inspiring, and I hope helpful to some of you out there!
I am always on the look out for the names of any curriculums that are Christian with some alliance with the principles of Waldorf education, or any other religious affiliation with Waldorf elements, because mothers ask…It would be nice to have a resource here with a listing. I know Judaic and Islamic families who are also searching for a more tailored Waldorf curriculum.
A few other Christian with Waldorf element kinds of curriculum/special occasion ideas:

Please leave a comment! I also know some of you have strong spiritual beliefs and have beautiful blogs, please feel free to leave those in the comment box as well. 🙂
Thank you for helping your fellow mothers and for everyone supporting each other,
