Waldorf Teaching methods & Philosophy

Waldorf teaching philosophy and methods are based on the work of Rudolf Steiner and his firm belief that education should be based on the knowledge of true child development and that true learning should penetrate the whole self. In order for learning to be life-long, the child’s thinking, feeling, and will need to be engaged throughout the day, with each lesson and activity. The methods used for manifesting these principles in the classroom are up to the individual teacher. It is expected that a teacher utilizes their artistic sense to provide lessons that accomplish this.
