New! Christopherus High School Notes Comedy and Tragedy by Donna Simmons Notes with information, resources, ideas and plans to help put together a block on Comedy and Tragedy (taught in Waldorf schools in the 9th grade) 23 pages, 8½"x11", stapled - $10

This is the first in a series of Christopherus High School Notes. Donna currently teaches high school at a Waldorf-inspired high school in Viroqua, Wisconsin and this is one of the main lesson courses she has taught over the last few years.

Our High School Notes are not intended to be as detailed or complete as our Christopherus Unit Studies but we believe they can be of great use to someone putting together a high school program at home.
