About Waldorf Education: Based on the education philosophy initiated by Rudolf Steiner in 1919, Waldorf Education is a culturally rich, age-appropriate curriculum that educates the body, mind, and spirit of the child. Steiner intended Waldorf education to focus not only on what knowledge must be acquired to enter society, but also to awaken capacities in children that would bring new impulses into society. Since the founding of the first school, Waldorf education has become a global independent school movement with more than 1,000 schools worldwide in over 60 countries.
