How do Waldorf children fare if they transfer to regular schools?
Transitions to public schools, when anticipated, are generally not problematical. The most common transition is from an eight grade Waldorf school to a more traditional high school, and usually takes place without significant difficulties. Transitions in the lower grades, particularly between the first and fourth grades, can potentially be more of a problem because of significant differences in the pace of the various curriculums. A second grader from a traditional school will be further ahead in reading in comparison with a Waldorf schooled second grader; however, the Waldorf schooled child will be ahead in arithmetic.
