“The true aim of education is to awaken real

powers of perception and judgment in relation to

life and living. For only such an awakening can

lead to true freedom.” Rudolf Steiner Founder, Waldorf Education

Leading Educators Agree That

Waldorf Education Works Wonders

“Steiner was very ahead of his time. What he

recognized about learning in the early 1900s is

gradually being substantiated by new discoveries in

brain research. For more than [90] years, Waldorf

education has been putting into effect what major brain

researchers and educators are discovering about the

human brain/mind. Waldorf is now being recognized

and what Rudolf Steiner envisioned is only beginning

to be part of the educational consciousness.”

Dr. Gabriele Rico, Professor of English and

Creative Arts, San Jose University

Author of the classic Writing the Natural Way

“What every parent would wish

as the best for his or her children,

Waldorf education provides. The fullest development of intelligent,

imaginative, self-confident and caring

persons is the aim of Waldorf education.

This aim is solidly grounded in a

comprehensive view of human

development, in an intellectually and

culturally rich curriculum, and in the

presence of knowledgeable, caring

human beings at every stage of the

child's education.”

Douglas Sloan, Professor Emeritus, Columbia University

“With Waldorf education there is an integration of

subject matter so that the children use heart, head,

and hands in their education—a complete

education, if you will.”

Dr. Robert Peterkin, Director, Harvard

Urban Superintendent Program

Former Milwaukee Superintendent of Schools

“I believe that Waldorf

education possesses unique

educational features that

have considerable potential

for improving public

education in America. The time is well ripe for the public

schools to explore the ways in which

ideas in Waldorf education might be

explored in their own settings.”

Every Student Learns a World Language

The language program

provides much more than

just the semantics of

language. Students immerse

themselves in the history,

art, music, movement, and

geographical regions of their

foreign language, creating a

full cultural experience.

Top Area High School Teachers Affirm that Waldorf Students Are Among

the Very Best

“In my fourteen years of teaching history to high

school students, I’ve noticed that Waldorf students are

different. They’ve been among my best students, and

they always stand out for their genuine curiosity about

the world and their strong will, which enables them to

get deeper and see more complexity. By asking a few

of my best students over the years where they had

gone to school before Lawrenceville, I learned the

thing they had in common was Waldorf.” Leonard A. Miller

History Master, The Lawrenceville School

The Waldorf School of Princeton Is a Community That Values

Character Education

Family,

an unforced unfolding

of childhood,

and joyful learning.

That is the Waldorf way.

Waldorf Education Is the Most Special Gift

You Can Give Your Child

“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, former MIT professor, author
