A Waldorf School is an educational institution based on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Anthroposophy. These schools emphasize a holistic approach to education, integrating academic, artistic, and practical skills. The curriculum is designed to nurture a child's intellectual, emotional, and physical development, often incorporating hands-on activities and creative expression. In a Waldorf School, children typically learn through storytelling, music, and art, with a focus on fostering imagination and critical thinking. The schools often have mixed-age classrooms, allowing older students to mentor younger ones, promoting a sense of community and collaboration among students.
