Freie Waldorfschule

Freie Waldorfschule, or Waldorf schools, are educational institutions founded on the principles of anthroposophy, developed by Rudolf Steiner. They emphasize holistic education, integrating academics, arts, and practical skills to nurture the intellectual, artistic, and social aspects of students. The curriculum is tailored to the developmental stages of children, with an emphasis on creativity and critical thinking. These schools often feature a collaborative learning environment, avoid standardized testing, and aim to cultivate a lifelong love of learning. Waldorf education encourages personal responsibility, community involvement, and an appreciation for nature and the arts.
