On first impression, Waldorf Education can seem a little curious. Or out of step with the times. Especially in a hyper-driven culture that stresses academic achievement over a more rounded sense of well being.
The truth is that Waldorf Education is more relevant than ever. The future you are leaving to your children will require more than just book smarts. It will call for courage, creativity, and care. These are the precise qualities that Waldorf has nurtured for the past 100 years.
Instead of memorizing facts from textbooks in order to pass exams, our students internalize knowledge by hand writing and illustrating their own textbooks. This results in a library of beautiful, prideful work, and a vivid understanding of the subject matter.
Our teachers often stay with a class for several years, if not first through eight grade. This allows teachers to develop a better understanding of the class community, as well as a deeper understanding of each student.
Reading is too important to be rushed, and the Waldorf approach is thorough, rich, artistic, and joyful for first graders. Our goal is children who love to read and become life-long readers. 100 years of Waldorf Education shows strong evidence of success in our methods.
