A lifetime love of learning
Waldorf Philosophy Overview
Innovative Teaching
Waldorf education is designed to draw out the child's inherent curiosity and love of learning through teachers who have a profound reverence for the child as a unique human being. Education (from the Latin, educare, to lead out) is the art of "bringing forth" the gifts that all children bring to this life so that they will develop clear, creative thought and expression; balance and compassion in their feelings; and energy, initiative and conscience in their deeds.
Inspired Minds
Our community of educators and parents share the ideal that it is the birthright of every child to develop his or her full human potential. Our aim is to graduate students who are capable of independent, critical and creative thinking and who will enter life fully capable of "joy and happiness in living, a love of all existence and a power and energy for work" (Rudolf Steiner)
