About Waldorf Education

Waldorf Education, developed by Rudolf Steiner in 1919, is based on meeting each child’s learning needs at the developmentally appropriate time. Waldorf educators also carry a deep respect for each individual student and are dedicated to fostering each child’s unique gifts while inspiring a life-long love of learning. Children are taught reading, writing, science and math alongside music, art, movement, foreign languages and regular outdoor play. This methodology educates the whole child – fostering the cognitive, the creative, and the social aspects of human nature. Most importantly, Waldorf’s unique style of multidisciplinary teaching gives children the opportunity to learn through a wide variety of experiences, increasing depth of understanding as well as intersecting with individual learning styles.
