Steiner/Waldorf schools change the world

The first Waldorf school was founded in Stuttgart in 1919. Today there are over 1,100 Waldorf schools and almost 2,000 Waldorf kindergartens in some 80 countries around the globe.

    You can talk about Waldorf school and think what you want. I am happy to have enjoyed exactly this education and to have learned such different things.

    So then, what was school for me? What was it that accompanied, supported and promoted me for 13 years?

    When I think of the Waldorf School, I always first think of Joseph Beuys' sentence: "Where have they actually remained, the Waldorf students? All those special people who change the world?" I then always feel that first of all I have this obligation, this burden, to be special. Until now, however, I...

The Waldorf approach has many characteristics that shape the learning and development of children in a special way. I am...
