We are proud to be among 1,000 Waldorf schools worldwide that are located in 83 countries. While each Waldorf school is unique and operates independently, we are all connected by a core curriculum, and similar methods and beliefs. Waldorf curriculum was developed by Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) and is based on his studies of the developmental stages of childhood. Waldorf education is the fastest growing private educational movement in the world.
