Festival of Light Celebration
November 11, 2025
Join us for this beloved tradition as we come together to celebrate the light within us all during Martinmas. This secular event is open to siblings of Lotus & Ivy students, and we can't wait to share this special evening with our community.
Grown-Up Education Workshop 3
TUESDAY, December 2, 2025 AT 7PM ET / 4PM PT
Join Lotus & Ivy’s kindergarten teacher, Ms. Karen Smith, to make a Waldorf-inspired hand-sewn sock doll that appears to be standing with its hands in its pockets. You won't need any fancy doll-making supplies for this project—your child's lost and lonely socks can be upcycled into a sweet little playmate! This class is perfect for those who are new to hand stitching.
You will learn basic sewing techniques, including threading a needle and making different stitches and knots. By the end of the class, you will create an adorable toy for your child that you can be proud to present as a gift. A supply list will be sent upon registration. Register today!

Whole Child
Education
At Lotus & Ivy, we provide an educational experience that is developmentally appropriate, experiential, academically rigorous, and nourishing for the whole child, “head, heart, and hands.”
Live &
Interactive
Classes
Lotus & Ivy’s live & interactive classes with trained teachers are the cornerstone of our program.
No pre-recorded lessons here!
We offer a full curriculum or a la carte classes for ages 4 - 15 inspired by Waldorf education. With options for Main Lesson, Math & Language Arts Skills Practice, Art Classes, and much more.
Flexibility
Every family has different needs. You won’t find a ‘one size-fits all’ program here. That is why all of our classes are a la carte.
You also have the freedom to choose your payment frequency— once yearly, semesterly, 5 months, or 10 months.
The Gift of Head, Heart, & Hands Education
“Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility—these three forces are the very nerve of education.”
We set out in 2015 to create a Waldorf-inspired program for homeschoolers where none existed in our town. This inspiration has since grown to several in-person homeschool enrichment Pods in the United States and a premier online program offering over a hundred classes for students in Kindergarten through 9th grade worldwide.
