节日 & 仪式
节日 are a vital part of our school life and bring the entire community together to celebrate. 节日是对生命的欢乐庆祝, and has the quality of lifting us out of the ordinary and into the mysteries and magic of the rhythm of the seasons.
全年, our many festivals celebrate the cycle of nature; are based on traditional celebrations or holidays; are specific to Waldorf pedagogy; or focus on significant values and virtues central to human development. 这些一年一度的节日为孩子们确立了每年的节奏, 滋养个人，壮大TG反波胆足球平台的社会. Students develop an understanding and respect for the various cultures of the world through their experience in the classroom and in the celebration of these seasonal festivals.
