The Waldorf Difference
Waldorf education emphasizes the development of the whole child—head, heart, and hands.
Join us at The Waldorf School of Atlanta to be part of an international movement to inspire life-long learning in all students.
Ready. And willing.
Experts in child development are now confirming what Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Waldorf schools, understood a hundred years ago:
Children learn both eagerly and naturally.
From early childhood through high school, Waldorf classes go far beyond the routine dispensing of academic information. Progressively, they also develop the nimble, humane, and discerning minds these young people will need in an unpredictable future. Our teachers steadily build each student’s individual capacity for sensitive engagement, original thinking, clear reasoning, and — what many students today lack — the initiative and ability to translate thoughts into action.
Rather than hurrying children prematurely into academic tasks beyond their intellectual and emotional development, Waldorf protects childhood by introducing skills and concepts at a cognitively appropriate pace and developmental level. Over many years, Waldorf schools have proved that such learning lasts.
““The pace here is so refreshing. Children get the emotional space and time they need, and no one is in a rush. This education really works.””
