"The importance of storytelling, of the natural rhythms of daily life, of the evolutionary changes in the child, of art as the necessary underpinning of learning, and of the aesthetic environment as a whole..."

Paul Bayers

We Need Your Help

The Kelowna Waldorf School is an independent school, open to the public. We strive to make Waldorf education available for all who desire it. We do not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, religion, nationality or ethnic origin. Only part of the cost of educating our children is met through tuition. Increasing fundraising and gifts can minimize tuition increases. The continuing challenge is to find activities that are the least labour-intensive for the amount of income generated and are supportive of our image and philosophy.

The Annual Giving Campaign
The Kelowna Waldorf Community has much more power than perhaps is realized to direct financial resources in ways that support, empower, and express what we believe in. Courage is needed to direct the flow, and with each choice we invest in the world as we envision it.

Gifts to our Annual Giving Campaign support our school and aid in the development of our programs that tuition alone cannot meet. A gift given in freedom is one of the most profound statements of support of the greater social goals of Waldorf Education. We ask that every family contribute to the Annual Giving Campaign (in whatever amount possible). One hundred percent participation in this effort by the families directly involved in our school provides a strong spiritual base for our fundraising efforts with those outside of our school community.

Gifts to the Annual Giving Campaign are fully tax-deductible and gratefully accepted throughout the year. With last year’s Annual Giving Campaign, we celebrated our school’s 27th anniversary. We were reminded of the quieter, less visible, but very tangible improvements to our school made possible by generous financial contributions to the Annual Giving Campaign.

Notably, Kelowna Waldorf School

• committed to continuing education for full time faculty – helping to attract and retain our most valued resource



• expanded the safe Kindergarten play area to accommodate our second Kindergarten class - fruition of our goal to increase enrolment



• enhanced and added to our outdoor items to enrich and enliven the children’s time in the play area – a need expressed and fulfilled for our children



• sponsored several notable individuals: Nancy Mellon, Bob Monsen and Anne Glover, to continue the enlightening education of our families and faculty – enriching our community



• upgraded the school’s library for our children

Annual Giving and other fundraising dollars enable these things to happen, stretching tuition income to meet our commitment without compromising quality. Your tax-deductible donation ensures the growth of the Kelowna Waldorf School and is necessary to it continuing to be a choice in education for families in the City of Kelowna.

Your gift, at any level, will speak to your commitment of providing children the opportunity of a Waldorf education. Donations also allow us to offer small classes and enrich them with specialty classes such as languages, movement, music and handwork.
Foundations often base their donations on the level of giving within the organization itself; a 100% show of support is vital to all other fundraising efforts.
 
We are truly a world in need of understanding, love and a strong sense of community. In maintaining the high ideals of education and service to community, the Kelowna Waldorf School strives to enrich our world one child at a time.
 
We are seeking gifts from generous parents, family members, individuals and businesses. Please join us in our efforts to support Waldorf education in Kelowna.
