From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Waldorf education (also known as Steiner or Steiner-Waldorf education) is a pedagogical movement based upon the educational philosophy of Rudolf Steiner, the founder of anthroposophy. The education emphasizes the role of the imagination in both teaching and learning. It aims to develop thinking that includes a creative as well as an analytic aspect and to provide young people the basis with which to develop into free, moral and integrated individuals.

The first Waldorf school was founded in 1919; Waldorf education is now practiced in over 900 established independent Waldorf schools and 1400 independent Waldorf kindergartens located in approximately sixty countries throughout the world, making up one of the world's largest independent educational systems, as well as in "Waldorf-method" government-funded schools and in homeschooling environments. Waldorf methods have also been adopted by teachers in some other state and private schools.
