How do Steiner educated children fare when they transfer to “regular” schools? Is it true that once you start Steiner schooling it is difficult to “fit in” to other schools?
Generally, transitions to public schools, when they are anticipated, are not problematical. The most common transition is from a class 8 Steiner school to a more traditional high school, and, from all reports, usually takes place without significant difficulties. Transitions in the lower classes, particularly between first and fourth class, can potentially be more of a problem, because of the significant differences in the pacing of the various curriculums. A second class child from a traditional school will be further ahead in reading in comparison with a Steiner-schooled second class child; however, the Steiner-schooled child will be ahead in maths for example.
