Educating the Whole Child: Head, Heart and Hands
Founded in Europe in 1919, Waldorf Education is now the fastest-growing
private school movement in the world. Waldorf’s time-tested pedagogy is
designed to address the whole child. It stimulates the mind with a full
spectrum of traditional academic subjects. It nurtures healthy
emotional development by conveying knowledge experientially as well as
academically. And it works with the hands throughout the day, both in
primary academic subjects and in a broad range of artistic handwork,
music and craft activities. Learning becomes much more than the
acquisition of quantities of information... learning becomes an
engaging voyage of discovery of the world and oneself.
