Creativity, critical thinking, and collaborative problem-solving are the cornerstones of the Waldorf approach. They are also the key skills demanded by today's world, according to everyone from child development experts to universities and employers.
It is widely accepted that young children learn best through play, developing everything from problem-solving to language skills; social skills to self-regulation. Waldorf education follows the Scandinavian model to introduce academic learning at a developmentally appropriate stage.
Waldorf education puts hands-on experience of nature front and centre, with daily outdoor sessions (rain or shine), a curriculum founded in the natural world, and a calendar of celebrations to mark the rhythm of the seasons.
Through the Waldorf ethos, we generate a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. This runs throughout the daily practice of our school.
Empowering children with the skills they need to grow, thrive, and hold themselves with confidence in the modern world.
