About Organization
Waldorf education was founded in Germany by Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian philosopher and educator. Its primary philosophy seeks to resolve the following questions. Waldorf educators believe strongly that the education of the future must have four dimensions: academic, practical, aesthetic, and ethical.
In particular, they believe in the universality of ethical education. By encouraging the development of a child’s inherent morality and sense of beauty, the child becomes enthused and motivated to master his/her world.
Waldorf education is a preparation for both post-secondary education and for life. Waldorf schools attempt to bring a balance between the perceived permissiveness of late twentieth century schools and the over-disciplined, overly structured schools of the preceding era.
This balance provides for freedom and creativity, guidance for growth, and discipline of the will and mind – in short, the education of the total child. Waldorf schools around the world are celebrating 100 years of education.
The Waldorf curriculum is designed to be responsive to the various phases of a child’s development and is interpreted flexibly in accordance with the school’s cultural setting and local practices. The main subjects, such as history, language arts, science, and mathematics are taught in Main Lesson blocks of two to three hours per day, with each block lasting from three to five weeks.
