What every parent would wish as the best for his or her children, Waldorf education provides. The fullest development of intelligent, imaginative, self-confident, and caring persons is the aim of Waldorf education. The aim is solidly grounded in a comprehensive view of human development, in an intellectually rich curriculum, and in the presence of knowledgeable caring human beings at every stage of the child's education. Dr. Douglas Sloane, Professor of Education, Teachers College, Columbia University, USA. |
