Staff Changes from the Summer Festival Brochure
In order to bring this year's Summer Festival online we have had to make a few changes of teachers:
The Grade Two Intensive will now be taught by Anna Gruda. Anna taught for many years at Toronto Waldorf School and now teaches at the Edgehill Country School in Durham Ontario.
The Grade Three intensive will now be taught by Jessica Gladio, who is currently in her 11th year of class teaching at Trillium Waldorf School in Guelph Ontario.
Phil Fertay will still be teaching the morning part of the Grade Eight intensive, but the afternoons will be led by Toronto Waldorf School art teacher Ariel Massett.
The courses that were to have been taught by Julian Mulock, Fiona Hughes, Nettie Fabrie and Wim Gottenbus will not be offered as part of this year's online Summer Festival. You can still read the Summer Festival brochure for course descriptions and presenter biographies. But bear in mind that some things like schedules, fees, etc. have changed with the shift to online presentation.
