Philosophy
2. Waldorf Education, also known as Steiner Education, is based on the educational philosophy
of Rudolf Steiner, founder of Anthroposophy. His pedagogy seeks to integrate and holistically
develop students ’intellectual, artistic and practical skills. The central focus is to nurture the
imagination and creativity of the students.
3. The Reggio Emilia Philosophy is an innovative and inspiring approach to early childhood
education, which values the child as strong, capable and resilient; rich with wonder and
knowledge. The Philosophy rides on the coattails of the innate curiosity of children and aims to
assist them with understanding their world and who they are in it.
Teaching Style
1. She developed a unique teaching method designed to help a child grow in a holistic way with
all cognitive, physical, social and emotional in harmony.
2. Individual teachers and schools have a great deal of autonomy in determining curriculum
content, teaching methodology, and governance. Qualitative assessments of student work are
integrated into the daily life of the classroom, with quantitative testing playing a minimal role
and standardized testing usually limited to what is required to enter post-secondary education.
3. Teachers are encouraged to observe children rather than to direct them. It is important that
children are allowed to experiment in their own way, make mistakes and find new solutions. The
role of the teacher is to gently move students towards areas of interest to them, and this can only
be done through careful observation carried out over time.
Classroom Materials
1. Furniture and materials are designed for the child’s appropriate physical and psychological
needs. A prepared environment includes a full range of Montessori materials, a trained
Montessori lead teacher (guide), and an assistant teacher. Montessori designed her materials
specifically to assist in the child's growth in the areas of practical life, sensorial, mathematics,
language arts, music, art, science, history and geography. While working with the material, each
child learns to concentrate, develop self-confidence, respect themselves and others, understand
order, and establish a love of learning.
2. In the kindergarten classroom, all toys and things to play with are made of natural materials.
Wooden toys, as well as unformed natural materials such as sand, water, sticks, shells, acorns
and stones can provide hours of pleasure in which the children build their fantasy world. All
artistic materials are provided for by the school:
For drawing, the children can use pencils and crayons. With a focus on colour, younger children
first learn to use thick block crayons and soon graduate up to using thinner crayons and coloured
pencils.
