Students and teachers from what was formerly Cedar Valley Waldorf School celebrated at the unveiling of the school鈥檚 new name 鈥� Squamish Waldorf School.
鈥淲e are thrilled to make this announcement,鈥� said principal Christine Martin in a news release. 鈥淣ot only does this change visually reflect us more accurately, the name demonstrates that our beautiful Waldorf school really does belong to the entire community of Squamish.鈥�
The school also has a new design that pays homage to the Stawamus Chief and the streams, rivers and waterfalls that lead to Howe Sound.
鈥淥ver the years we have had numerous families move here 鈥� from China, Mexico, Argentina, southern states in the U.S., and all across Canada 鈥� simply for our school and pedagogy. They have worked their family life and careers around attending what was then Cedar Valley Waldorf School. We are very proud to play a strong role in the growth and development of Squamish in this way,鈥� said Martin, adding that the board of directors forecasts continued growth in enrolment and is planning to build a new facility at a new location by 2021.
