Waldorf Education:
• Is based on a profound understanding of human development attained through working with Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy
• Regards children as spiritual beings with inborn and unique potential, strengths and weaknesses, and intentions for their life
• Provides a detailed, richly artistic curriculum that responds to and enhances the child's developmental phases, from early childhood through high school
• Develops capacities of accurate observation and clear and independent thinking
• Cultivates social, emotional and practical capacities
• Connects children to other human beings and to nature through reverence and respect
• Ignites passion for lifelong learning
• Is the fastest-growing educational movement in the world.
