Steiner Education - schools

There are many misconceptions about Steiner education, which should not be surprising given that historically, pioneers of new forms of consciousness are usually misunderstood until the rest of the world catches up. This presentation will address some of the more common misconceptions, and show how Rudolf Steiner actually pioneered many of the key defining characteristics of mainstream 21st century education. While he had to use language that was addressed to Europeans at the start of the 20th century, his message was for the whole world 100 years later ie for the 21st century. As Steiner schools grow to be a worldwide movement on every continent, we see Steiner’s vision of education blossoming into a force that will support and sustain our humanity both now and into the future.

This presentation also serves as an introduction to Steiner education for parents and teachers who are new to a Steiner school.
