In 1919, the first Steiner school was founded in Stuttgart – in 2019, Steiner education turned 100 years old!
Today, there are over 1,100 Waldorf schools and almost 2,000 Steiner kindergartens in more than 80 countries around the world. And the school movement is still growing.
Steiner education creates communities that transcend social, cultural, religious, ethnic, and political boundaries by taking the uniqueness of each individual as its starting point.
The following films have been created as part of the Waldorf 100 year celebration, and sponsored by Waldorf100. We hope you will enjoy them as well:
