How to raise a healthy well-educated happy child without losing its precious inner desire to learn about the world and preserve it for many years? How to raise a knowledgeable person with a strong moral attitude toward life? How do we teach the art of living and acting in the world?
These are difficult but essential questions every family asks when choosing an educational path for their child.
Fortunately, Waldorf Education in its theoretical foundations offers balanced and thorough answers. These answers are the fundamentals for the life and work of our school. With the support of parents, we create the best possible conditions for realizing these tasks. We rely not only on traditional teaching and learning but also on observing and reflecting on the needs of modern life. Therefore, interesting practical tasks, excursions, hikes, nature studies, numerous experiments, performances, concerts, artistic practices, social activities, etc. await children here. An artistic part of our curriculum is the harmonious combination of these creative components with the deep theoretical work of our students.

Advantages and features of Waldorf pedagogy:

  • - cultivate the desire to learn new things and learn throughout life;
  • - taking into account physical and age needs;
  • - disclosure of personal talents and abilities of the child;
  • - no ratings, template answers;
  • - educational space of a mobile type, where children can move freely;
  • - teacher-student partnership, mutual respect and trust;
  • - most of the project, team work;
  • - active participation of parents in school life.

It is these tasks - not only in theory, but also in practice - that the Waldorf School, which UNESCO recognized as the school of the 20th century, has been implementing for about 100 years. Through its integrity, this pedagogical system contributes to the development in children of those qualities and abilities that allow them to become initiators and creators of the cultural, technical and social transformations that the modern world needs. That is why in the developed countries of the world, where society is aware of the role of education in solving socio-economic problems, the number of Waldorf schools is constantly growing. Today there are more than 1250 Waldorf schools and 1915 kindergartens in 70 countries of the world. Waldorf pedagogy in Ukraine is gaining more and more fans.

Welcome to our school!
