What are the main goals of the Waldorf approach to education?
• To provide children with a broad and deep experience of the world. • To lay foundations for independent, creative thought. • To recognize and nurture the soul and spirit of the children. • To enable children to develop self-discipline. • To meet the child as an equal and recognize the unique, timeless Self of each child. To create a program that addresses that unique Self and gives it dignity. • To create a community in the classroom that fosters cooperation and warmth in personal relationships. • To build physical strength, coordination and balance as a basis for cognitive learning.
