The only way to save the planet is to change the way we’re training the decision makers of the future.

Rudolf Steiner, a scientist, philosopher & social innovator, launched the first Waldorf school on September 7, 1919, in Stuttgart, Germany, during the wake of the first World War. He recognized that the only way to avoid repeating such a tragic and horrible fate was to foster a different type of education. It needed to be one that focused on teaching free-thinking and a more open way of making decisions.

In 1923, the book “Bees” was published about Steiner’s observations.

This forward-thinking, world conscious text predicted that, in 80 to 100 years, honeybee populations would collapse.

Sadly, his prediction has come true! A condition called Colony Collapse Disorder has affected bees all over the globe. Our fuzzy friends are disappearing in mass numbers from their hives with no clear explanation.

His philosophy was to guide future generations to be freer thinkers, and it has blossomed into a global network of Waldorf Schools. Waldorf education is now the fastest-growing, non-sectarian private school movement in the world with schools in over 90 countries. These schools tend to be popular among the decision-makers and influential artists of our time. Why? Because, it teaches them HOW to think - not simply memorizing other people’s thoughts and reciting them properly during exams.
