Waldorf Education
Waldorf education was founded in 1919 by scientist and philosopher Rudolf Steiner. Based on Steiner’s insights into the nature of human beings and child development, our Waldorf curriculum fosters each student’s natural curiosity with stories and activities that appeal to the imagination as well as the intellect. Teachers take care to balance intellectual, emotional and social growth, while developing each child’s resilience and capable will. Nairobi Waldorf School Trust teachers root lessons in experience rather than abstract concepts; a botany lesson, for example, begins with a close look at a living plant.
Our Early Childhood program is designed to nurture the body, mind, and soul of the young child. Children enter the world with a natural sense of wonder, adventure, and desire for harmony. Our faculty honors these innate qualities by providing an environment that fosters warmth, clarity, rhythm, and joy.

Our Lower Primary School program seeks to uncover the academic, artistic, physical, and social gifts of each child. At the heart of Waldorf education is the belief that education is an artistic process, and through showing the children to approach their work with care and beauty, children learn to love learning for its own sake.
