WHAT IS STEINER EDUCATION? |
|
The Steiner philosophy that drives Waldorf Schools is one which human possibility
is seen as infinite. Genius in each child is recognized and is coaxed lovingly and
patiently across all dimensions – physical, emotional, intellectual, artistic and
spiritual – so that these capacities are developed in a truly balanced way. The
Steiner education nurtures its students across the full range of human talent and
in doing that, enhances qualities which contribute to creative independence and
balanced maturity in adulthood.
There are now more than 900 independent Waldorf / Steiner schools all over the world,
many built as a non-profit venture by communal effort. The Steiner education is
unique in that by design, it draws the active involvement of community members in
helping create the environment where the child is educated in a loving and balanced
way.
It is the core philosophy of Steiner education to develop free human beings who
are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives for the common
good and advancement of mankind.

TESTIMONIALS |
|
The Steiner method as used in Waldorf Schools is recognized for what it brings to
the child: |
|
|
|
"It is a pleasure for me to write an endorsement for Waldorf Education, which has
been extraordinarily successful for my son. The remarkable, dedicated faculty has
directed his attitude and energies toward academic achievement and civic responsibility.
The shool draws out the best qualities in young people. While this is not an instant
process, the values they learn by constant contact with the faculty will provide
a lifetime platform from which to grow. In summary this system works!" -
Gilbert M. Grosvenor, President & Chairman, National Geographic Society
|
|
|
|
"The beauty of the Waldorf School is that it is designed entirely to keep children
intact until they are ready to move out into the world as whole individuals." -
Joseph Chilton Pearce, Author: "The Magical Child" & "The
Crack in the Cosmic Egg"
|
|
|
|
"What every parent would wish as the best for his or her children, Waldorf Education
provides. The fullest development of intelligent, imaginative, self-confident and
caring persons is the aim of Waldorf education. The depth of Waldorf education has
far-reaching implication..." - Dr. Douglas Sloane, Professor
of Education, Teachers College, Columbia University
