Toronto Waldorf School 2017

This week on the Huntsman campus we had Grade 11 students from the Toronto Waldorf School. While in St. Andrews we have introduced the students to the marine environment of the Bay of Fundy and the culture and history of the area.

Below are a few pictures from their visit to New Brunswick.
