New Solar Initiative at GUS

Glen Urquhart School Summer Program in Beverly MA

Glen Urquhart School is launching a new energy initiative with the installation of solar panels that will dramatically reduce its overall energy usage.

Glen Urquhart is one of the only schools on the North Shore to install such a large solar venture. The new 55-kilowatt system supplied and installed by Solect Solar will provide 36 percent of the schools overall electricity and avoid 105,000 pounds of Co2 emission, which is equivalent to six homes or greenhouse gas emissions from nine cars, and the amount of carbon sequestered annually from ten acres of pine forest.

Waldorf Math: A Uniquely Engaging Curriculum

Cape Ann Waldorf School, CAWS, Beverly MA Independent School. Pre-K to 8 grade.

How many times have you heard someone say, "I'm not a math person"? At Cape Ann Waldorf School, everyone is a math person. In our early childhood classrooms, students develop the foundation for math with rhythmic activity, movement, games, real work, and lots of play. From early childhood across the grades, the Cape Ann Waldorf School math curriculum unfolds in a meaningful and coordinated way. Students explore and practice math in ways that fully engage them, through movement, artistic work, music, and practical activities. This multi-sensory, experiential approach leads to stronger understanding, better recall and eager anticipation for taking on their next challenge.
