How do we educate to

sparkle, the promise, the
beauty of every child? Our
curriculum is a finely cuned
organism responsive to the
needs, interests and abilities
of the child at every stage of
growth. Our methodology is
artistic, scientific and
human-centred. We see the

child as a spirirual being
who enters gradually into his

- her body and into the life
of the world in all its
complexities.

Do we teach academic
subjects? Definitely. For
nvency-seven years students

thar keep students involved
with and proud of their
work, We address the true
needs of the children.
Rhythm and meaning, art
and music, permeate our
days. The teachers work
inrensively at their own
development, striving to
bring the best to their
students.

Waldorf education is
education through
creativity. Fostering truth,
heaury and goodness, it is
