RHE Curriculum Overview
A unique blend of Waldorf-inspired, Montessori, and UU Pagan approaches—structured around the Wheel of the Year and flexible enough for unschooling families.
Our Approach
Waldorf-Inspired
Nature-based learning, storytelling, rhythm, handwork, artistic expression, and developmental stages.
Montessori
Child-led exploration, hands-on materials, follow the child's interest, practical life skills.
Unschooling Friendly
Use as a guide, not a mandate. Pick what resonates, skip what doesn't. Interest-driven deep dives encouraged.
UU Pagan Values
Seven UU Principles woven throughout. Earth-centered spirituality. Inclusive, questioning, justice-oriented.
Special Needs Friendly
This curriculum is designed with flexibility in mind. Adapt pacing, modify assignments, and adjust expectations to meet your child's unique needs—whether they're neurodiverse, have learning differences, or simply learn at their own pace.

In our homeschool, I require 80% mastery before advancing to the next level. This ensures a solid foundation before moving on.
Whether you use the same requirement is entirely up to you—adapt the curriculum to fit your family's needs and philosophy.
