Holistic in nature, Waldorf education embodies a hands, heart, and head approach by presenting traditional academic subjects in a context that nurtures the child's emotional well-being and honors individuality. Founded by Austrian educator and philosopher Rudolf Steiner in 1919, Waldorf education is one of the fastest-growing private, non-sectarian school movements in the world.
Waldorf education is dedicated to drawing out each child's unique abilities. Steeped in art, music, science and language arts, the Waldorf curriculum meets the child's needs at each developmental stage with appropriate activities. The Waldorf school environment preserves the wonder of childhood and fosters independent, creative thinking and problem solving. Waldorf teachers typically hold academic degrees and have completed training programs at one of the specialized Waldorf training institutes.
