OUR VISION
Why Waldorf schools are beneficial for children
Holistic Education: Waldorf schools focus on the holistic development of children, addressing their physical, emotional, intellectual, and social needs. The curriculum is designed to foster creativity, critical thinking, imagination, and to encourage a sense of wonder and joy in learning.
​
Age-Appropriate Learning: Waldorf schools emphasize age-appropriate learning, taking into consideration the developmental stages of children. The curriculum is designed to meet the developmental needs of children at each stage of their growth, with a focus on hands-on, project based learning rather than early academic pressures.
Art and Handwork: Waldorf schools place a strong emphasis on arts and handwork, including painting, drawing, music, and crafts. These activities are believed to stimulate creativity, imagination, and self-expression, and to develop fine motor skills and coordination.
Community and Social Skills: Waldorf schools emphasize building a strong sense of community and social skills among students. Cooperative play, group activities, and collaborative projects are integrated into the curriculum to promote teamwork, empathy, and social awareness.
Nature and Outdoor Education: Waldorf schools often incorporate nature-based and outdoor education into their curriculum, recognizing the importance of a connection with nature for the well-being and development of children. This may include gardening, farming, and outdoor activities that foster a sense of environmental stewardship.
Limited Technology Use: Waldorf schools generally limit the use of technology, especially for young children, focusing on hands-on, sensory experiences and human interaction instead. This can help promote healthy development, imaginative play, and social skills.
Individualized Learning: Waldorf schools aim to meet the individual needs of each student, allowing them to progress at their own pace and develop their unique talents and interests. Teachers often work closely with students, providing personalized attention and support.
Nature is the best teacher, during the Science and Sustainable living classes students will learn through interconnection of the ecosystems around us, ignite curiosity, empowerment and critical thinking to see how we can live in harmony with the world around us. With Social Emotional Learning approach, students will learn not only academics, but life-values, attitudes and skills for life.
