Fastest Growing….

Waldorf education is now the fastest growing, non-sectarian, independent educational movement in the world, currently with nearly 2,000 schools in 70 different countries.  Each school is autonomous, but is linked to all other Waldorf schools through the common mission of helping children to become innovative, socially-responsible, capable adults. Professors who have taught Waldorf students across many academic disciplines and across a wide range of campuses - from State Universities to Ivy League - note that Waldorf graduates have the ability to integrate thinking, to assimilate information as opposed to memorizing isolated facts, to be flexible, creative and willing to take intellectual risks, and are leaders with high ethical and moral standards who take initiative and are passionate to reach their goals. 

Waldorf graduates…

Waldorf graduates are highly sought after in higher education.  Waldorf schools offer a developmentally appropriate, experiential, and academically rigorous approach to education. They integrate the arts in all academic disciplines for children from preschool through twelfth grade to enhance and enrich learning. Waldorf education aims to inspire life-long learning in all students, and to enable them to fully develop their unique capacities and maximize their individual potential.

100 years…

Founded 100 years ago in Europe, Waldorf education is based on the insights, teachings and principles of education outlined by the world renowned philosopher, artist, and scientist, Rudolf Steiner. The principles of Waldorf education arise from an understanding of human development that address the needs of the growing child and honoring the stages of childhood.

Music, dance and theater, writing, literature, legends, and myths are not simply subjects to be read about and tested. They are experienced. Through these experiences, Waldorf students cultivate their intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual capacities to be individuals certain of their paths, and to be of service to the world.
