As I now (summer 2025)  head toward completing our Christopherus curriculum (parts of 8th grade are available here) I am in the wonderful and privileged position of being able to look back over the grades and seeing how they connect with one another, flowing as a truly holistic curriculum. One of the main reasons we sell so few of our publications separately, independent of the main curriculum for that year, is because my greatest wish for parents is to enable them to live into the healing power of a coherent, contextual and holistic path of education.

I could talk about how the story curriculum unfolds into the history curriculum or how math grows and weaves through the grades. But I think I would like to give a short account of how our form drawing lessons grow into our geometry lessons in a way that I know is unique and not necessarily how any other Waldorf educator, in a school or not, has worked with these lessons. This is a great example of the powerful healing impulse of Christopherus which I strive to offer to parents.

Here is a link to an old blog article I wrote about form drawing which should be helpful to any of you who are new to this therapeutic art.
