Does this sound like your home?
You’ve been piecing it together from blogs and Pinterest, late at night once the children are asleep.
Here the whole year is laid out for you. In the morning you open the day’s lesson and teach it.
Your child is tired of worksheets.
Here every lesson starts with a story. Your child draws it into their main lesson book, and the letters and numbers grow out of the pictures.
You’re not sure you can teach it.
You don’t need Waldorf training. Each lesson tells you the story to tell, what to draw and what to make, step by step.
A day with Starpath
You read the lesson on a device or print it. Your child doesn't need a screen at all.
In the afternoon
Something for the hands
A craft to make together, or a walk with a nature journal. The festival guides and free resource packs are full of them.

Coming up, November 11
Martinmas & Lantern Walk
Each festival guide has the story, songs, crafts and a seasonal recipe, so you can keep the festival year at home.

Thank you.
So far fabulous. We have kiddos with additional needs so everything is done at a super slow pace. This is our first Waldorf curriculum and it fits brilliant with what the children need to support their learning and developmental needs.
Thank you and so sorry for making you more work!

…and on another note, I'm just amazed at the change in . Before we started, getting him to sit for any kind of lesson was a battle.
Now, he's asking when we're going to do our “story work.” In just a few weeks, he wrote his first little story and is so proud. Seeing him so engaged and joyful about learning has been a miracle compared to the screen-time struggles we used to have.
This is exactly what I was hoping for.
All the best,
Hi there,
Just wanted to let you know we are absolutely loving the curriculum. I was feeling so overwhelmed trying to piece things together myself, but this has been a lifesaver. Everything is laid out so clearly day-by-day. It's saved me countless hours of planning, and I can just relax and enjoy teaching my son.
It has brought so much peace and structure to our homeschool days. Thank you!
My daughter was starting to feel burnt out with worksheets and more traditional learning. The stories and art integrated into every lesson have completely reignited her love for learning. She's so proud of her main lesson book and is always excited to see what we'll be doing next.
This is exactly the gentle, creative approach I was hoping to find. We are so grateful.
Warmly,

Questions parents ask
Which grades does it cover?+
Grades 1 to 3 are complete, and Grade 4 is being added block by block. The full curriculum opens every published block in every grade, so you can look ahead or go back.
Do I need Waldorf training to teach this?+
No. Each lesson is laid out for you, step by step, and written for parents, not for teachers in training.
How long does it take each day?+
Around 2 to 3 hours in Grades 1 to 3, with the main lesson, artistic work and time outdoors. You can shape it around your child's rhythm.
How much screen time is there for my child?+
None is needed. Your child learns through stories and handwork, away from the screen. You can read the lesson on a device or print it.
Does it teach anthroposophy or religion?+
No spirituality is taught in the lessons. They draw on Steiner's picture of how children grow, and the stories begin with fairy tales and fables in Grades 1 and 2.
Can we use it alongside school?+
Yes. Many families use single blocks and the festival guides outside school hours. Blocks are $19 each and yours to keep.
What does it cost, and can I cancel?+
The full curriculum is $7 for 14 days, then $47 a month. You can cancel from your account in two clicks.
What if we can't afford it?+
We offer scholarships to families who need one. Email support@starpathlearning.com with a few lines about your family, and we’ll work it out together. More on the scholarships page.
