Waldorf education is based on the principles of Anthroposophy by Rudolf Steiner. Rudolf Steiner founded the first school in 1919 Stuttgart Germany to educate the children of the factory workers from the Waldorf Astoria Zigaretten Fabrik - hence the name. All kids, independent of social status or talent received the same instruction, which made the school a pioneer of social justice in education.
The goal of Waldorf education is to develop free, but morally responsible individuals equipped with a high degree of social competence and creative capabilities. Factual knowledge, homework and tests scores receive less attention. Storytelling and experimentation are the main method of instruction, textbooks are being avoided.
Over the twelve-year curriculum, students learn math, literature, history, and science as well as a wide variety of arts and hands-on skills. Elementary students paint, knit, weave and sculpt with wax. Older ones make patterns, books, pottery and sculpt in stone. Everybody learns to do music. First all play the flute, then some play string instruments and others join the choir.
Students play non-competitive games and learn to dance eurhythmy. They do organic farming and learn two foreign languages, which in the first years are taught through songs, storytelling, and conversations. In grades 8 and 12, the entire class develops a classical drama that they perform in front of their parents and friends.
Waldorf uses a unique project-based approach to almost all main academic subjects. Instead of repetitive schedules, a specific subject, such as history, math, science or even gardening dominates the first two hours in the morning for a period of 4-6 weeks. After that, a new subject gets the main focus.
Steiner also invented an experiential approach to science whereby students observe and later describe scientific concepts in their own words and drawings rather than learning about them in a textbook first. Waldorf schools, therefore, consider computers useful to children only in their teens, after they have mastered fundamental, time-honored ways of discovering information and learning.
In the spirit of personal development and empathy, competition and grades are being avoided. Teachers instead assess the student’s individual growth of character. Test scores and grades are only slowly introduced to older students as they prepare for college and entrance exams.
Today there are over a thousand Waldorf schools in 60 countries, making it one of the largest independent school movements. Waldorf has become a recognized educational theory in Europe, and its schools have received state funding.

I am currently in Waldorf and feel like it’s one of the the best schools I’ve heard of. I’m glad I have the privilege to go here
i graduated waldorf
I am in a German Walldorf school :-)
I went to Waldorf too
Lego stopmotion Studio its strange because my german teacher makes her smiley faces with noses too
@@successions I call my smileys "Voldemorts" because I make just the ones without a nose :D
I am a Waldorf child... I am now in my (very) late 20's and realise how much I have progressed in life because of my early Waldorf education.... (Thank you, mom & dad
Can you share some insights for a parent to follow some of the basic principles?
Can you explain that more? Also did you go to college? Did you feel behind?
wow..that s amazing to hear..I m studing to become a Waldorf teacher....yes...Steiner was a genius...one day will be as famous as Da vinci..thanks to creative souls like YOU
My elder son is in Waldorf school as the youngest one is in Waldorf kindergarten. Furthermore, my elder son was also in Waldorf kindergarten. I can say they definitely think, act differently than other kids and I am very happy about that. They have fantastic fantasy and creativity which are much more important and valuable than to learn by heart some topics which you'll definitely forget after very short time.
I quite often struggle to explain what 'Waldorf' or 'Steiner' education is to other people and this video surprised me as it did a very good job of summarizing the main aspects. However, I might add that the 2 hours of 'project-based learning' in the morning actually go by the name 'main lesson' and averagely run for a 3-week cycle (not 4 - 6 weeks).
thanks lucia :)
Well, it depends on the school or maybe country... In my school the duration of the main lessons changed depending on the subject.
Where I lived we got them per season usually. But sometimes divided into 4-6 week periods
Unless it was a subject i hated (i remember we had some on physics and…adhesives?) those were like sometimes the only thing i looked forward too xD
I saw a large wall presentation of Waldorf kids achievements in a Graduate Psychology Dept and I was really blown away by it. It was almost magical what these youngsters had created.
As a past pupil of a Waldorf School here in South Africa, I feel SO blessed to have attended one.
Hi Waldi
Hi, what are their thoughts/approach on Christianity ? Thanks
@agnesfouche4788 its a Christian school😊
Waldorf was an amazing experience for me as a child. It was truly very different from school. I never found myself not wanting to go, or not wanting to be there - had I continued in that school for the entirety of my education, things would probably be very different for me.
I would love Waldorf, Montessori, Reggio and combinations to be more widely available to entire public.There's work to do in informing everyone that are better ways to teach and learn.
Waldorf maintains children's joyfulness, retaining the soul, no tech, unlike other early education methods try to mold the kids or keep stimulate them, or keep giving them knowledge. I used to think a combined method would be good but now when I understand more about Waldorf education I can see that it should not be the case. Waldorf really stand out from the others
Yes..but they are very expensive and exclusive school..at least in my country..
I’m currently in my final year at a Waldorf school in Germany and it’s pretty tough..No woodworking anymore haha. I guess we have to proof we’re not stupid because we’re “Waldorf” and that’s why we get testet in one more subject in our finals
I feel you haha. I have the same struggle.
Es wird schon werden. Viel Erfolg.
Ja bei mir auch. Das ist alles viel zu doll😪
Unser Abi ist bzw war zwar nicht leicht, aber die Zeit davor ist es einfach wert. Viel Glück euch allen!

It is so sad that more children do not have access to these wonderful schools. Steiner's ideas are just the beginning of what they have evolved into over nearly 100 years. The schools strive to provide as much financial aid as possible - but it is getting harder and harder. My local Waldorf school had 30% minority enrollment 10-15 years ago - it's shrinking now.
The shrinking middle class has really affected enrollments in many independent schools (Waldorf and others). Something must be done and it is not the schools, themselves, that must solve this problem! The government levels the playing field only if one "chooses" to send a child to government schools. Is this what we really think is best for all children? Having children educated with diverse methods is really important to the health of a society!
very true. it is a very unfair world.
The education is "free" - but the teachers need to live, material paid for and property maintained. In some countries the State pays a good part of the costs, in others it pays nothing. In many schools fees are not fixed, with each family contributing as best they can. Payment or not for Waldorf education is a societal issue, though a Waldorf dilemma.
Middle class pay lots of monthly fee for their students and teachers receive almost nothing in their salaries.
When I had the opportunity to go to a Waldorf school, mum said we can't afford it and I was happy with the decision. She told me it was 40K and when I was older and had I job, I still remembered that fact. I worked out how much I was making with my first job... I was making 24k in a supermarket (full time). I really felt sorry for mum, she must've felt pretty bad not being able to give me that education.
I turned out okay though. Hahah :P
I do wish there was more financial assistance to schools like Waldorf, Montessori and Reggio to name a few.
After doing some research into both sides of this argument, reading about Steiner, and hearing from former and current students who went to use the Waldorf/Steiner method and I’m sorry but you are still promoting, unintentionally, disinformation aka myths based on what you have chosen to believe. Just as in other educational methods and institutions, for every good teacher, there are plenty of unwise and brainwashed bad teachers who brainwashed and abuse and encourage bullying of children and that has been documented at plenty of Waldorf/Steiner schools but it often is downplayed if not censored and goes under the radar; anthroposophy is also a pseudoscience philosophy belief that mixes various beliefs into one - combining the myths of intuition, reincarnation onto the same planet in another life form, evolution, meditation, karma, etc into a placebo form of brainwashing. Also they are taught further false teachings from false Christianity, Jewish, Hindu, Pagan, Buddhism, etc and not all of them have the same common theme of love, when one independently and thoroughly researches these in detail. So there are both pagan and false religious teachings encouraged in Waldorf school. A cult also does not always have leaders or giving of money, etc. Also, there has been documentation come to light from families whose children endured forms of elitism, outdoor propaganda, snobbery, racism, bullying, abuse, social conditioning, and gaslighting in Waldorf schools which encouraged the parents to find new forms of education for their children. Speaking for my family, I’m blessed to not put my children into Waldorf and instead we focus on homeschooling and treating each individual child just as they are but also not mandating sports or taking technology away, and instead we learn from traveling and going about our lives in real life and meeting with many people, learning safety, learning First Aid, self-defense, accountability, practicality, self sufficiency, ethics, etc. We also don’t believe in forcing our children to be stuck behind a pile of textbooks, unless that child is by nature a reader. So while there are some things taught by our and many other homeschooling families which are sometimes taught at the Steiner/Waldorf method, we don’t encourage the unnecessary and false things that Steiner/Waldorf methods promote. In the end, we found what works for our family and our children are aware of what’s going on in the real world and hang out with children who either are homeschooled also or go to other educational institutions, including Steiner and have no regrets not going to the Waldorf/Steiner institutions.
Graduating this year, Tbh i’m sad to leave. I think any school that someone can remember fondly has something to be said for it. I love waldorf, i think it’s very important and should receive more attention
Wo sind hier die Waldis?????
Here ☺️✌️🌱
Moin
@@jodolfstaler9220 Gute deutsch
Hier!!!!
Haha, hab mich fast nd getraut hier die Kommentare zu lesen, unter dem letzten Video welches ich über Waldorfschulen geguckt habe, waren die ... nicht ganz so nett.
Also ich bin seit nem halben Jahr ehemalige Waldorfschülerin, im Herzen aber immernoch komplett also ... HIER🙋🏼🙋🏼🙋🏼
I went to a waldorf school from kindergarten through grade 3.... REALLY wish I had this experience. My main teacher would pick on me so much I would get stomach aches every morning and developed anxiety in grade 1. Even the other teachers and secretary were confused since I was constantly being sent out to the hall/office, only in his classes.
What an awful experience. I am sorry you had to go through that and that you never had someone to protect you. 😢😢
I entered the childcare feild in my early 20's at a Waldorf school. It quickly became much more than a "job" for me. It became a way of life that I have carried with me for over 25 years.
One point is missed out that during those 4weeks of project students prepare their own files and at the end they have their own books made based on their own knowledge and experience. There are no predefined text books for any project or subject. It's mostly through Teachers careful listening and memory. First 8yrs of schooling are crucially important while Self is more given weightage. Then comes the world and I.
Thank you muzna for adding this!
Private schools that offer non-traditional curricula like to point to the percentage of students who do well on standardized tests and the number of students who go on to higher education. What's left unsaid is that the high tuition these schools charge pre-selects students from high-achieving, high-income families who would've succeeded in most any academic environment.
A friend of mine went to a Waldorf school here in Germany for elementary school and after that swapped it for a common Gymnasium so she would have better chances at finding a job later on. She told me that she really had problems talking the test to get into our school because she didn't know a lot of things concerning maths, German etc. The focus points in these schools are completely different what isn't necessarily bad but it makes it seemingly really difficult if you want to or have to switch school systems. Mainly school systems where the teaching methods are so completely different from Waldorf (means literally any other school system, university). I think Waldorf is a great approach which is so much better for the mental health of kids and they are learning some really useful things there but in a society like ours that isn't always wanted.
Da du ans Deutschland kommst darf ich dir ja bestimmt auch einfach auf deutsch antworten.
Ich stimme dir zu, dass die Waldorfschule nicht unbedingt in jedes System passt und das ist auch in Deutschland so. (Ich geh selber auf eine Waldorfschule.) Ich hatte nie das Gefühl weniger zu lernen als meine Freunde von staatlichen Schulen, ich habe die Sachen nur zu einer anderen Zeit gelernt. Ich denke sogar, dass ich einiges mehr gelernt habe aber wir werden nie richtig auf staatliche Prüfungen vorbereitet und traurigerweise ist unser Abi dazu noch schwerer. Daran kränkelt das System besonders.
I too feel the same... If a parent chooses this method, the kid has to continue in that on a long run... switching the methodology will create great impact
I went to Waldorf special need school in 13 years i grew up there learning so many good things. The teachers there were so kind and patience with me. Even tho i struggled alot to learn since i have ADHD and autism. But the school and education is amazing. It’s so much better than public school. 🥰🥰♥️.
We love Waldorf!!! My three children went there and are soooo happy I sent them to a Waldorfschool. They will make the same choice for their own children
congrats! lucky them :)
Chava Pappie is it suitable for 2 years old child with speech delay?
We hate it. I won’t subject my children to that toxic atmosphere. Homeschooling works best for us.
Emily Greene homeschooling is not allowed in the Netherlands. It sounds great but not for everybody feasible. Also here the Waldorf schools are state funded. That also makes a difference. Sounds like you have had a bad experience in a Waldorf school. Sorry to hear and wonderful you are able to homeschool.
Raysome Tmg so sorry I didn’t see your question until now. And now I am so curious how your child is doing. Did you know my son also had late speech development? It all sorted out. So I hope the same happened to your child. What school did you eventually choose for him/her?
It's my first time to hear about Waldorfs kind of education and I think it's one of the best teaching method I've encountered so far. I want to know more about it, since I'm currently a student of early childhood education. Thank you for sharing these kinds of videos, very informative. 👍🙏👏👏👏
i have been in a waldorf school for my whole life and it is trully an amazing experience
A large study in Europe demonstrated that the one area that Waldorf students have been shown to excel in is winning gold medals. The capacity to use one's imagination constructively for beautiful and practical purposes is emphasized - in a good Waldorf school - and although they are taught sports in a slightly less competitive way they still work hard at it and this builds true tenacity to win in adult competition just because it is about the beauty of the sport and the ability to focus on the bigger picture ( or in the case of other subjects- the beauty of the world and its individuals ) that is stressed. Daily physical play, climbing trees, Eurythmy, balancing and juggling probably don't hurt either. Also in a well run Waldorf School the teachers and parents (those who choose to contribute constructively) make decisions together, so the children see self expression with patience modeled. Waldorf students choose careers that avoid toxic situations, but to deal with such things they have their superior imaginations to help them. When I had mean bosses I used to imagine they were a cruel king and I a poor serf. It made it funny and tolerable.
As someone in my twenties I went on a vision quest to find the best type of school and stopped looking after visiting every type of experimental school as I did not like how the teachers treated the children, but then I discovered Waldorf schools and I did not need to look further - it is the most humanizing and intelligent-making type of school. Not perfect, but very close to it. However you are right in understanding it was not in Steiner's original recommendations to be so dictatorial about the curriculum of each school, indeed he asked that Waldorf schools include "free" in the name so that each school would be inspired to freely adapt his recommendations to the actual needs of the student body as a whole and of course it is the teachers' and ultimately parent's job to adapt the school's curriculum to each child's individual needs. But mostly teachers and school administrators ( aka adults ) are in a hurry, pressed for time with all their responsibilities and so Waldorf schools often fall short of redesigning and thinking through every aspect of the curriculum. Waldorf schools less than 20-30 years old tend to be a bit "cookie cutter" and lacking in funds as well as unaware that they are also underneath perhaps a little bit hippyish, new agie, or militant ( Steiner warned against all of these things) - Although the education promotes the development of an observant, caring, and free-thinking individual, the curriculum is more prescriptive than progressive schools such as Montessori and Reggio Emilia schools. Waldorf is the only "progressive" type school to have a complete classical curriculum (all the usual academic subjects are taught in clear steps through every year) taught through the arts, Unlike Reggio and Montessori it is not a free school in the sense that the children do not decide their own curriculum. And by the way no school system can simultaneously teach it all. Not many schools teach private piano lessons, you learned flute to play in the school orchestra perhaps- to give something to yourself and others as well? Children are encouraged to play an instrument to help balance their personalities. It sounds like whoever encouraged you to play flute chose a good one for you - it is a challenging instrument and not a common one - also enjoy learning piano as an adult - I bet you will play it more sensitively, in tune, and fluidly because of your flute lessons. Or was it such a small economically strapped Waldorf school you only played the wooden recorder? - that is not so good then. But anyway I have heard that life can be lonely after Waldorf school - so seek out other adult Waldies, who perhaps went to different Waldorf schools, and feel proud of how you differ from folks who went to either schools that were too free or schools that were too dictatorial.
I am not a Waldorf teacher but this is exactly how I teach even down to how I evaluate.
Do you study Christianity as well ? Thanks
Oh sorry, not a teacher😊
As crazy as it may sound to some replacing grades with short written evaluations of the students performance and development is in so many ways superior to a simple 1 digite grade!
While Grades only serve to increase competition and an unhealthy strive for perfection. A written text conveys important information to the parents while forcing the teacher to reflect on each and everyone of their students.
Let's face it how much meaning does an A have? What does it really say about your child? What can it say that couldn't be better said in a small text where the teachers actually have to sit down and think how the child is behaving, learning and developing?
Even a very short text can convey so much more meaning and insight for the parents, who often know so little on how their child is behaving in school. As an added bonus the teacher is forced to reflect on the progress of every student ensuring they actually think about the students development and by doing so perhaps realizing how they can aid it or if perhaps they can improve/adapt their methods.
Sure at some point you will want to get to more easy to compare measures such as traditional grades but we all know how inconsistent in their meaning can be. At the very least for elementary school the short texts would be a by far superior option
As a quick example: Hearing that your child is at times anxious to speak up may give the parents the insight they need to aid their child and to help them improve instead of just becoming disappointed with bad grades or simply applying more pressure to get better. Neither of which would lead to the child gaining the confidence it is apparently lacking!
But frankly if parents aren't told where the problem lies how are they even supposed to try and help fix it?
Anyway I got carried away again.... Hopefully this comment is still understandable and not a total mess. Guess my teachers should have told me I tend to repeat myself and rant on for ever.... 😉🤣
I think Waldorf education is one of the best curriculum education system for learning. Experimental learning attitudes in students and getting help from the educators in these Waldorf teaching methodologies are quite a different way of lifetime learning. Best wishes.
Thanks for sharing Bidita Rahman!
Thank you for sharing this great overview. We can not be too aware of how we educate our children. And I believe alternative schools like Waldorf are much needed in many parts of the world. We all should probably focus much more on rich experiences than linear information processing.
+dojolava thank you and we fully agree!
Im in a waldorf school and I love it and I'm so thankful for this school
Island!
I am a preschool teacher in Turkey. In our lessons, we learn about different education systems. I watched this video to better understand waldorf education. thanks
I'm in Brazil and I know Waldorf's School. It's só fantastic! In love! Steiner was ahead of our time
no. he wasn’t.
We love waldorf, more relevant to contemporary global issues than ever before!!
Relevant???( As in it "talks" but does not walk the talk.)
Rudolph Steiner's belief system is so eccentric, (ego-centric!) so unsupported by evidence, so manifestly bizarre, that rational skeptics are bound to consider it delusional."
I love how these videos are hand drawn!!
Steiner was a great man... I love all his books and teachings...
I miss my folk dance class. My teacher taught my mom as well. And retired the year I graduated :) a great experience!
i was interning at a international waldorf school in spain and it was first getting used to it but i really loved the methods!
I think experimental learning is an excellent idea for learning education which remembers 80% but also experiencing. And even the reading and listening skills, moreover necessary for two powers to develop through to do reading and hearing rather than memorizing.
I used to go to a Waldorf school during my elementary and middle school years. It was great 👍
indeed
In Sweden the waldorf school is free. But the school has to compromise whit the swedish school-law and therefore we must take in subjekts earlier than Rudolf Steiner recommended. But, the government pays for every students school, they can chose which school they want. -(Excuse my incorrect english).
double-edged sword. Good that all have access, but waldorf education is meant as a decentraliced education to gain the ability to align the paedagogy immediate from the child. otherwise it's soften one of the core properties of waldorf education.
What i read or hear ,my feel is sweden is way ahead with things like these
Same in finland
Similar to a Design school approach without the toxicity of performance and competition. I love this
I'm surprised and somewhat sad I've only heard about Waldorf schools just yesterday because of Bluey. This educational system really makes learning fun! I wished all children had the chance to go to one..
I graduated from the first Waldorf School in my city in mainland China 7 years ago and the more I grew up the more I realized how Waldorf has changed my life.
The part at 2:00 is definitely something i belive should be implemented more into education. People are taught to memorize, not really think in the education system I work with
That’s all public school
Absolutely
STUDYING..at 47.. to become a WALDORF teacher..I believe nothing is more amazing than a new comer soul....fully prepared to create th new....we need more teachers.....so that...we get together and create schools......Spain here.....cheers
Well my youngest is about to start kindergarten at Waldorf. I’m very excited for you and I wish you all the best.
Such a good video! I am study Steiner Education at University and rate this video a A+ thank you !!!!!
Very good Presentation of Waldorf. Thank you
I went to Waldorf from second grade to sixth grade 😊 it was so much fun and it’s everything he’s describing and then when I transferred to public school I saw how different it was 😢 I miss Waldorf ❤ 😢😊 I’m just glad I got to go for as long as I did! It was a real experience ❤
I used to go to a Waldorf school during my elementary and middle school years. It was great 👍
Wish my parents sent me to a Waldorf School.
Going to a waldorf high school was the weirdest time of my life, it's amazing how many of the adults seemed so smart yet they believed in magic and couldn't explain their reasoning in a way that anyone could understand.
I loved the arts though, got to try a lot of things that I'd never been able to experience anywhere else
omsnaga which one did you go to?
A school in Sweden called "Rudolf Steinerskolan"
omsnaga hej hej
@@omsnaga In Norway we call it Rudolph Steinerskolen. It’s almost the same thing.
This new education system is being very much exposed to people in the field of teaching in N.Y . There is great promise and consistency in the growth development and overall knowledge of self creation. Very inspiring. This system is going to slowly change the world.
lets hope.
I think it could change the world. But it needs the right people to bring this idea up.
Definitely not a new system lol, I believe the video said the fist Waldorf school was created in 1919. Just new to America, because we're finally learning that we're not the best at everything, and can learn from other countries, especially since America is basically a toddler of a country, only being a few hundred years old.
@Ms89Monkeylover Not new to the US either. I went to the 2nd oldest Waldorf School in N. America it was established in 1941..it's just finally getting recognized and hence has opened more locations. I wish more were available to people. It truly is an education that creates a wonderful human with a well rounded mind and spirit
I love this video. You have perfectly explained how it works (i’m current stundent at Waldrof School) I guess most people don’t know about the following but it’s very annoying; in Germany people who go to different schools are constantly making jokes about Waldorf school. They ask things like “Can you spell your name dancing?” (Eurythmie) or “do you grow trees?” It’s incredibly how ignorant people can be, making fun of it when they have never experienced it themselves. I mean sure, it’s kinda easier for students at Waldorf school but I truly believe we get better prepared for life and learn not only academical stuff but also a lot about humanity and being social! Great video, thank you!

Thank you !
Thai educational system lacks guidance for future generations to think freely. Almost all are victims of deteriorating social values and expectations. Thank you for creating this video.
If you mean the Waldorf system you are absolutely wrong. Before you judge you should inform yourself. If you are talking about 'Thai' you might be correct😂
Excellent description! So important to tell all, I wish we could translate this into many different languages!

un claro video de lo que es esta extraordinaria forma de aprender !!!
gracias!
As I learn in a Waldrof school myself in Moldova I would like to say that you should really try to search not only in Wikipedia as it is not always the best way .
Love it!
I am a proud Waldorf parent and I truly believe that this is the best school system ever crested by mankind
WOW. I was so touched by the respond here. I see you guys are glad to be a Waldorf Student! In Hong Kong, Waldorf Education is also expensive as not supported by the Government. But after seeing the responds here, I'm sure I've made a right choice to send my son to a Waldorf Kindergarten (Though as a parent it's stressful~ haha)
hi! may I know why is it stressful for the parents?
It is not easy for a middle-low class family to afford the high school fee.... have to work very hard, or live in a very simple way..... And self-development for parents is also a challange. @@aliinsialiin
Your ideas and creativity is are the best. Thank you for sharing us knowledge about the education method. I think that we should judge people by their grades but by their capabalities. your videos are motivating and effective. I wanted to share with my ideas that how about you make lessons on education and its system. thank you for giving us tips on study and also giving us the knowledge about different education system.
You are very welcome Ruhaan. And thank you for your great feedback. Comments like your keep us going!
thank you sprouts.
AMAZING!!!!!
I go to a Waldorf school in Auckland, and I'm loving reading through the comments here where people understand it! I've been at this school since I was 3 and I absolutely love it to pieces but it's so annoying having to do a ten minute explanation every time anyone asks what the heck it's all about😂
Yes the 10 minute explanations kill me! Might just save this video and show it to anyone who asks 😂
CRAP MY EURYTHMY SHOES DON’T FIT
OMG YES XD
Spaceworm .works moin 😂
WHERE DID I PUT MY FCKN EURYTMY SHOES?!?!
😂😂😂💀
Omg yas
very good work
this inspires me to create this type of school someday
My younger sisters went to a Waldorf school and what surprised me is that they actually enjoyed going to school (crazy, I know).
Very intriguing
Fantastic video!!
I go to a Waldorf school in South Africa and gardening is the best lmao
The land is your bank.
Sounds awesome
i think this is the best idea ever!
I'm going to a Waldorf school soon ^^
Thanks so much for such a great explanation video. I hope that my community here in Vietnam will have chance to know more about Steiner and Waldorf school model. I would love to contribute our Vietnamese translation for this video. I wonder if I can do that any way?
I used to go to a Waldorf school during my elementary and middle school years. It was great 👍
ich bin ein waldi😅
yes amazing education, a bit that not available all over the world
love it
I went to steiner, studied for 9 years.
Instead of teaching us important things that help us in life, we were dancing eurythm. I struggled in math and my writing was terrible. What I liked about steiner was that they provided us the artistic possibilities in education, but they were not optional. We were forced to do art. Art is not something that should be forced, it should be an option we all are given. I personally like playing piano, drawing, editing videos and painting. Instead I spent 5 years playing fucking flute. The idea is nice but the execution is terrible.
I would like to see a Waldorf school where kids choose what they do instead of doing what they are told.
Rudolph Steiner's belief system is so eccentric, (ego-centric!) so unsupported by evidence, so manifestly bizarre, that rational skeptics are bound to consider it delusional.
i know this reply crazy late to your comment but i think you should look into montessori education. it seems to have the creativity of the steiner schools but without the forcing of things. although, they seem to go in the opposite direction and offer a wild amount of freedom to children that I find hard to believe that it works for learning. i need to do more research though because many good things have been said about it
The best educational experience I ever had was at a Waldorf school.
I did a 2.5 month exchange to a Waldorf school in Germany and I liked it but I think it's important to use computers/other technology in school, even from a young age.
Waldrof is opening in Istria,Croatia🌞✨💚🌿
Lol I am in a Waldorf school. 8th grade, the stuff he is saying is true.. But as a student I most say its really stressful.
Hi Anonymous y8, thanks for the feedback! Can you describe what part of school life is stressful for you?
I can understand you and was in the very same situation in your age, but now in my final year Iam very proud of being waldorf student und understand what in your age seemed to me strange and stressful.
Hahaha 8th grade in Waldorf school stressful, how lazy are you that you get stressed out by that
@@Knorrke so stressed that I have to write 30 A4 paper sites and draw 3 drawings. And I have to make a poem that's 5 sites long. Nearly forgot the math...
True
yes, we learn the most from experience, so choose experiences well;)

Wish i could have gone to these as a child, i hated the k-12 education system here in the U.S., didn't want to be there, no motivation and hated my time there and almost didnt graduate. Would have been a god sent if I had the option.
I went to steiner school from 2005-2009 and 2009-2018
Wanting to create something like this at home for my kids and maybe even for my community in the future
I live in South Korea and my son goes to a Waldorf school here :)
