7 WAYS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT JOURNEY SCHOOL

 

ALUMNI SPEAK ABOUT JOURNEY SCHOOL

In their own words, read what Journey School alumni valued about their public Waldorf education at Journey School:

  • each child has an individual opportunity to flourish in a safe and accepting familial community
  • the ties between the students and teacher are not ones of a fleeting grade
  • prepared me to problem-solve, to create, and to innovate
  • honed the characteristics of patience, respect and acceptance in each of its students, and I continue to value the high moral code
  • values the child as a unique being and holds the art of acceptance close to one’s heart
  • open-minded instructors, creative curriculum, time in nature, and the many festivals which helped me come of age in healthy ways—including:  class plays, Medieval Games, and the Pentathlon

ENROLLMENT PATTERNS

From the beginning, Journey has drawn students from throughout Orange County and northern San Diego Counties. Approximately eighty percent of Journey’s students reside within Capistrano Unified School District, and the remainder come from nearby areas such as Irvine, Laguna Beach, Saddleback and even as far away as Santa Ana and north San Diego County. The school has always leased facilities from CUSD, including the current location at the former Foxborough Elementary site. Despite challenges due to past relocation (the school moved from San Clemente in 2004-05), Journey has drawn a committed community of parents and teachers to participate in this progressive educational opportunity. Journey has grown from a small start up school of enthusiastic and inspired parents and teachers to a full-fledged learning community that is well positioned for the future.
