Waldorf Education has been around for close to 100 years. Discover why it is the fastest growing educational movement in the world.

The global spread of Steiner/Waldorf education, even into the furthest corners of the earth, started in 1919 and continues today. Interest in Waldorf teaching approaches is evident in about half of all the world’s nations (about 100 countries), independent of language, religious affiliation, or political situation. There are Waldorf kindergartens and schools, and teacher training facilities, on all continents. Parents across the globe are making an extraordinary commitment to support growth and strive towards a future in which humanity is attainable and healthy development and social participation is truly possible. The Waldorf education movement, with about 1,100 schools and over 2,000 kindergartens around the globe, has become the largest free school movement in the world.

“Being personally acquainted with a number of Waldorf students, I can say that they come closer to realizing their own potential than practically anyone I know.” – Joseph Weizenbaum,
Professor Emeritus, MIT
