There are also dozens of public charter schools around the country that use a Waldorf curriculum, which do not charge tuition.

Why do you say it's only for the wealthy? My children attend a Waldorf school in Silicon Valley and we have a tuition adjustment program that allows children from even very low-income families to attend our school if that is their first choice. It makes fundraising more challenging for us compared to other private schools with less economic diversity but it creates an enriching social environment for the children.

I am sold. Helping kids go back to the basics is amazing.

Yes.Technology is good but it can be distracting.

Yes, it can- in the sense that it is easy to be a waldorf student in our modern america. I have gone to a waldorf school since 7th grade. I am currently a junior in high school. Our high school does have a computer lab and we use math text books but other than that it is very much like the video describes. It is really quite a smooth transition in to any college. Transferring the curriculum might be difficult and may involve revisions but I certainly think it is possible.

For parents who are looking for a stress-free education that molds the hands, hearts, and minds of children, WALDORF Education is for you. Our daughter is now on her second year and we have seen amazing development in her. Thanks Mr. Gupta for sharing this wonderful way of educating children. I hope people will be awaken and appreciate how Waldorf can bring change in this world.

Anyone who's interested in letting our children learn in an environment free from tests and test anxiety should also take a look at Sudbury schools. The original Sudbury school in MA has been around for over 40 years, and their students learn in freedom and joy, with no required classes, or homework, or tests! They learn what they want to learn, when they want to learn it -- and they mostly go on to colleges and do very well there. Unschooling works: my kids are now a librarian, and a paramedic!

Lua Wells I love the concept of Sudbury schools, unfortunately they are more difficult to come by than Waldorf schools. I considered home schooling my children but I think it's important for them to be around other children.

I think it's pretty good idea 'cause children use many senses in that way. for instance, I can remember sentences faster when I write them. I think that's for my using not only sight but also touch.

My one concern is that when they go to college will they struggle adapting to books and notes and stuff

+Anthony Depaz I'm a waldorf-educated student and I'm currently in my second year of college. I'm getting my bachelors in environmental science, and while the learning style is different I'm doing really well. I knew when I started college that I would have to adjust how I worked, but I actually found that the I had to adjust less than some of my friends who had more traditional backgrounds

College is a joke if you get an ignorant from the street over 30 years old and assign him/ her to get a master degree they will pass all classes with an A 😅 every single one you meet today has education-degree

A lot of these schools give really good financial aid! I would look into it if I were you.
