Waldorf/Steiner Education

Waldorf education began in 1919 in Stuttgart, Germany, when philosopher Rudolf Steiner was asked to create a new kind of school for the children of factory workers. His vision was to educate the whole child — head, heart, and hands — preparing young people to meet life with creativity, courage, and responsibility.
From that first school, Waldorf education has grown into a worldwide movement of 1,200+ schools and 2,000+ kindergartens in 80 countries, each adapting Steiner’s principles to local culture and community.
Experience The Difference of Waldorf Education
Waldorf education consistently encourages students to view the world from multiple perspectives, understand concepts from various angles, and connect meaningfully with their surroundings—fostering creative problem-solving, building relationships with people and nature, and deepening awareness of how our actions shape the world.

Waldorf for today’s world

It grows the whole child
Waldorf doesn’t just focus on exams. It helps children grow in mind, heart, and hands—so they become smart, kind, and capable people.
Less screen time, more real life
In a world full of screens, Waldorf gives kids a break. No gadgets in early years, so they learn to focus, imagine, and connect with the real world first.
Strong values in a changing world
Waldorf creates an environment for children to care for the earth, respect others, and make good choices—values that really matter in today's fast-moving society.
Creativity is the future
Through multidisciplinary learning in art, music, and hands-on work, Waldorf students learn to think creatively, solve problems, and adapt to change.
Builds strong social skills and empathy
In Waldorf schools, children spend a lot of time working together, solving problems as a group, and learn to understand each other. With so much loneliness and disconnection in the modern world, this kind of real human connection is more important than ever.
Strong teacher-student bonds
In Waldorf, teachers often stay with the same class for several years. This builds deep trust and connection, which helps children thrive.
