Raphaeli School is currently operating as a Homeschool in Wittedrift, a little country village on the Bitou River, 9kms outside of Plettenberg Bay on the Garden Route, South Coast, South Africa.
Currently six children come together daily under the loving guidance of Gabriele Wellens, devoted mother, psychophonetic therapist, educator and writer/artist, and soon to join us, Sue Gurney, widely respected and internationally experienced state and Waldorf Teacher and writer/artist.
The Waldorf curriculum forms the core of the teaching guideline; lessons, games, songs and activities are then planned and adapted to encorporate the individual level of each child. Music and drama, arts and crafts, movement and constant ecological awareness form an important part of our lives, where the different main lesson contents can be experienced in various ways and thus be integrated. Being situated in a rural environment supports the aim to surround and infuse the children with beauty, goodness and truth at all times.
The vision is to grow into a Waldorf Kindergarten, Primary and High School in the Bitou area.
