Waldorf Education
|
Once you send your children off to school, you place them within an environment in which they will spend more "waking" time each day than at home with you, the parent. Clearly the school becomes a great influence in shaping the future of children. In school they receive support and guidance from the teachers, the environment, their classmates, and the particular educational philosophy to which the school subscribes. The choice you make in selecting a school may be as important as any decision you can make on your child's behalf. |

Since the first Waldorf (Steiner) School opened its doors in Germany in 1919, interest in Waldorf education has spread throughout the world. Waldorf education has become one of major growing private, non-sectarian educational movement, with over 750 schools worldwide. Each is an independent, non-profit entity. |

The Waldorf (Steiner) curriculum is designed to meet the intellectual, emotional and physical stages of development throughout childhood. Academic excellence and creative thinking are achieved in a supportive environment. Learning at a Waldorf Steiner School is a dynamic process, engaging the child's imagination and initiative. Art, movement and music are woven into daily academic studies. |

Dr. Rudolf Steiner, founder of Waldorf Education, believed that children should receive a balanced education, one that not only engages the intellect but the whole child - head, heart and hands. Reverence for the wonders of nature, gratitude and respect for others and developing self-discipline are guiding principles.
Waldorf teachers are dedicated to inspiring students with a genuine inner enthusiasm for learning - essential for educational and personal success. |
