A Steiner School, also known as a Waldorf School, is an educational institution based on the philosophy of Rudolf Steiner. These schools emphasize a holistic approach to education, integrating academic, artistic, and practical learning. The curriculum is designed to nurture creativity and critical thinking, with a focus on the developmental stages of children. In a Steiner School, subjects are often taught in blocks, allowing students to explore topics in depth. The schools prioritize a strong connection to nature and community, often incorporating outdoor activities and hands-on projects. This approach aims to foster a love of learning and a sense of social responsibility in students.
