Lifetime Member Note: The Lifetime curriculum does not include high school - even for old members. The high school program has been converted into a Living Lessons Only Program which is not owned by Earthschooling completely. For this reason, we cannot include it as one of “our” published curriculum packages. It is only possible to get access to this program by purchasing it on its own through WaldorfSchoolOnline.com . It is also still available for purchase at Earthschooling.com. However, it is not considered part of the Earthschooling curriculum. If you already have access your access will continue. The natural well-being classes are owned by The Avicenna Institute.
