The Rudolf Steiner School
New York, New York
Cause Description:
The Rudolf Steiner School embraces Waldorf education, a pedagogy derived from the insights of
Austrian-born scientist, philosopher, artist, and educator Rudolf Steiner. The program, from
nursery through twelfth grade, addresses the physical, emotional, and intellectual capacities of
the developing child through an age-appropriate curriculum that integrates the disciplines of
movement, fine arts, and practical arts into the study of humanities, science, math, and
technology. Through the development of these capacities, we strive to educate the whole human
being in a healthy and balanced manner.
The Rudolf Steiner School actively welcomes students, faculty, and staff of all ethnicities and
gender preferences, and of all faiths and creeds. We respect and support individuals’ spiritual
beliefs and practices.
We strive to develop the mind, body and spirit of the child, encouraging, in the process, the
child’s spiritual freedom and growth. As in every Waldorf School, our teaching works toward this
aim by drawing on the insights into human development pioneered by Rudolf Steiner.
The Waldorf curriculum is diverse in nature and rich in the teachings of many great religious
traditions. Students develop an understanding and respect for the various cultures of the world
through their experience in the classroom and in the celebration of seasonal festivals of the year.
Drawing on Christian and other traditions, we celebrate our common humanity, not our
separateness in belief or practice.
