Abstract

International Waldorf schools are a century old but still vigorous entities, present in 64 countries world-wide. Waldorf pedagogy has spirituality at its core and yet schools are not doctrinally spiritual. Rudolf Steiner designed his education around the natural growth of the human being; three seven-year periods allow children to develop at distinct stages of doing, feeling, and thinking. We consider whether this works as a complex, intelligent system.
