OUR MISSION AND WORK

Our programs represent our mission to engage the Northeast Florida community in initiatives that embody the full range of holistic and anthroposophical-inspired endeavors and related activities.  These include interests in support of:

 

  • Waldorf-inspired Homeschool Education

  • Homeschool Enrichment

  • Outdoor Education for Grades K-12

  • Forest Immersion classes

  • Community Green Spaces

  • Urban Gardens

  • Waldorf Teacher Training

  • Community Education & Workshops

.

Our current active programs include The Spring River School K-8 all-outdoor Grades Program,  a Two-Day Homeschool Enrichment program, a Homeschool High School Program at Atlantic Theaters in Atlantic Beach, s K-8 Forest School Nature Immersion Program, Dewdrops Playgroup, Peaceful Steps and Tidepools Parent Child Classes, and the Sophia Circle anthroposophical study group.  We serve over 250 community members and students with our offerings.

 

Recently we particpated in collaborative relationship with the Center for Anthroposophy to bring Building Bridges Waldorf Teacher Training to our area.  This served to train over 25 Waldorf Teachers who are currently educators in Northeast Florida, and spurred a second training in the Gainesville area for 2025.  

 

If you have an initiative idea, wish to volunteer, or see a need in the community and want to talk to us about it, we are here to listen.  Just email us at boardjaxeducationalcommunity.org
