Unencumbered Education
Preparing Teens for Fulfilling Futures
The Saugeen Academy is an unaffiliated Waldorf community high school offering grades 7 and up.
We offer a hands-on, embodied education fostering healthy adolescent development, intellectually, physically and emotionally.
A Time Tested Approach to Education
When it comes to education, the latest trends aren’t necessarily the best. Our Waldorf-inspired approach focuses on ‘whole child’ development through a developmentally appropriate, experiential and academically rigorous approach.
Bringing the Ontario Curriculum Alive
We integrate the best of the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum with a deep philosophical approach nurturing intellectual freedom, active participation and moral responsibility in an environment that honours the body, mind and spirit.
Beyond the Classroom
Morning academic lesson intensives allow students the time to delve into a particular subject in-depth while weekly, practical skills workshops take students outside of the classroom for an immersive ‘real life’ experience in a variety of fields.
“One month in at the Saugeen Academy and my son is thriving, just as I suspected he would. The school isn’t free, but the cost is a small sacrifice for the greatest reward – an environment that allows him to THRIVE. He’s starting to love learning. His anxiety towards school is almost non-existent. Miserable mornings have been replaced with excitement. He’s engaged, eager and confident. Not every child fits into the public school system box, and that’s okay!.”
— Niki, Parent
