Sunrise School of Ormond Beach

A Waldorf-inspired school in Ormond Beach, FL offering a beautiful hybrid education to homeschooled children in grades K-5.

Our Early Childhood program takes place in an outdoor forest school model, embracing the beauty and benefits of nature. Our outdoor classrooms offer a consistent daily rhythm that helps children feel secure and at ease. In this natural setting, play is not just play; it’s a vital part of learning that nurtures a sense of wonder and opens doors to endless possibilities. This approach enriches them internally and lays a solid groundwork for their academic achievements ahead. In addition to an abundance of imaginative free play, our days are filled with a variety of engaging activities such as watercolor painting, sewing, beeswax modeling, tea time, cooking, singing, storytelling puppetry, and participating in movement circles—all conducted in the inspiring backdrop of the outdoors. These delightful experiences are key in honing both fine and gross motor abilities, enhancing listening, focus, and language skills, and teaching children the art of collaboration within a group setting. Being in nature further encourages creativity, resilience, and a deep connection with the environment, offering unparalleled opportunities for growth and development.
