The Waldorf Approach in Education
At the heart of the Waldorf approach is the recognition that children pass through distinct stages of development, and that both the subject matter and the way it is taught need to be age-specific to the growing child. Rather than simply imparting intellectual information, Waldorf education seeks to engage the whole child in the learning process. The arts are integrated into every subject, using movement, music, storytelling, and rhythm to bring the material to life and endow the child with a lifelong sense of wonder and a joy of learning.
100+ Years of Waldorf Education
The first Waldorf school was founded in 1919 in Stuttgart, Germany, by Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), the visionary Austrian educator, scientist and philosopher. Waldorf Education is an independent school movement with over 1,100 Waldorf schools worldwide in more than 64 countries.
Highland Hall is a non-sectarian school & an accredited member of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA).
