Oasis at the Macy's Home Store

Should modern democracies build monuments modeled on ancient triumphal arches? This class looks at the historical origins of triumphal arches in Rome and beyond, how they’ve been reused across centuries, and what they symbolize. We’ll consider recent proposals for new monumental forms in the capital—including arches and grand ceremonial spaces—and discuss how old architectural languages are adapted to express modern messages.<a href="https://washington-metro.oasiseverywhere.org/product/a-triumphal-arch-for-washington-ancient-precedents-modern-meanings/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Register here.</a>About Washington Metro Oasis: Our mission is to empower adults age 50+ to lead active, healthy, and enriched lives through a unique mix of lifelong learning, social, health, and volunteer programs.

Curious what daily life actually looks like for a family at Washington Waldorf School? Join us for a candid virtual conversation with two current parents at our school as they share their personal experience of the joys of and adjustments to being part of the WWS community.
Whether you’re considering enrollment in our early childhood or elementary school programs, already part of our community, or simply want a real parent’s perspective, this is your chance to ask anything. How do families navigate limited screen time at home? What does the transition from a more traditional kindergarten or elementary school look like? How has Waldorf education shaped their child’s development — and their own parenting? No question is off-limits.
We’ll start with a quick virtual tour of our elementary school and early childhood spaces and have plenty of time for Q&amp;A.
