The main lesson
One subject at a time is taught in depth for a period of 3 to 4 weeks in a manner suitable to the child’s stage of development. This system allows for the integration of a variety of activities and intellectual and creative work based on the topic that is being taught at the time.
The Seven Year Cycle – One class teacher throughout Primary School
The class teacher remains with the children from class one to seven. This achieves four valuable educational objectives:
• The teacher’s continuous and deepening knowledge of the children in his/her class.
• An increasing intimate connection between teacher and parents, fostering greater understanding of and security for the pupil.
• The continued development of the teacher.
• An interrelationship between subject matter taught in early and later yeas which further enriches the curriculum and the child’s learning experience.
Our dedication is to educate the whole child towards creative responsibility and freedom in an environment based on loving guidance and respect for the whole individual. And, to further the principles of education as expounded by Rudolf Steiner.
