Rudolf Steiner in the Waldorf School

 -The parents entrusting their children to this school can only hope and expect that those children will be educated to become competent in life.

-What real present day life demands of people must be reflected in the organization of this school. 

-Nowadays people of insight are demanding an education that aims not at one-sided knowledge but at the ability to do things, not a merely cultivating intellectual gifts but at training the will. 

-It is not possible to educate the will and the healthy soul that underlies it unless we develop insights that awaken energetic impulses in the soul and will. 

-Anyone who believes that it is possible to educate the will without cultivating the insight that enlivens it is succumbing to illusion. 

-Waldorf School will be a primary school that teaches its students through basting its educational goals and curriculum on insight into the nature of the total human being, an insight that must be alive in each teacher.
