STEINER EDUCATION
Steiner education, also known as Waldorf Education is the largest and fastest growing independent school system in the world. The distinctive pedagogical approach fosters a lifelong love of learning based on the needs of the whole child —academic, physical, emotional and spiritual. In a caring, homely environment, younger children realise their creativity, grow in confidence, and develop a deep care and respect for each other and the world we live in. Steiner emphasized the importance of achieving balance in the three different ways a person relates to the world: through the realm of thinking (the head), the life of the feelings (the heart) and physical activity (the hands). Head, heart and hands are all equally important for the development of the child and are the basis of the Steiner approach.
From age 6 all children study a rich and balanced range of subjects grounded in the stages of child development. These include all recognised subjects of the national curriculum as well as some specific to the Steiner curriculum. Core subjects are taught in thematic blocks (Main Lessons) with a balance of artistic, practical and intellectual content, with engaging, real world learning experiences.This inspiring and nourishing education aims to develop well-rounded, imaginative, capable young people with a strong sense of self-belief, motivation, responsibility and purpose.
Steiner Waldorf education allows children to embrace childhood. As an alternative to the mainstream education system, Steiner Schools nurture and encourage creativity and imagination to develop without the pressures of early testing and the competition of others within the classroom. Through this, Steiner School children become keen to learn, they play hard, and develop life long social skills which mean much more than grades and test results.
