COMMUNITY PARTNER INFORMATION:
Organization:
Great River Waldorf School
Description:
GRS education is based on what is called the Waldorf philosophy. This learning system was development by Rudolph Steiner after the first world war. Waldorf education is based on consciously meeting unique stages of development in the growing child, and attempts to bring education into a living art form that addresses the whole child. Its highest endeavor is, in Steiner’s words, to “develop free human beings who are able, of themselves, to impart purpose and direction to their lives.” Within the range of subjects, including the sciences, humanities and the arts, deep reverence for the natural world and the history of humanity lie at the core of the curriculum.
