Pedagogical Objectives

The pedagogical foundation and the aims of the Waldorf School are best summarised by this surprisingly contemporary remark by Rudolf Steiner, the school's founder: "The question is not 'What must a person know and be able to do to become a useful member of society?', but rather 'What hidden abilities lie in each person and how can they best be developed?' In this way new strengths will be added to society."

As a result, Waldorf pedagogy is not limited to the passing on of book knowledge. Instead, it commits itself to the harmonious development of "the head, the heart and the hands". At the same time, it takes into account the possibilities and needs linked to the different stages of a child's development.

A diversity of subjects, in addition to the basic skills of reading, writing and mathematics, give the students a good foundation of knowledge and abilities, enabling them to face the challenges of the workplace and to find their place in society.
