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.
In our Kindergarten program, children are guided through a nurturing and rhythmic environment where imagination, creativity, and a love for learning flourish. Designed to meet the developmental needs of children aged 4–6, the curriculum blends play-based learning with hands-on activities that lay the foundation for academic and social-emotional growth.
