Edinburgh Steiner School Talks & Webinars
Celebrating over 82 years of Steiner Waldorf education in Edinburgh; and over 100 years globally, we are still the largest and fastest-growing independent educational movement worldwide. There are now almost 1,200 schools and over 2,000 Kindergartens, in some 80 countries, based on the internationally recognized Steiner Waldorf curriculum. We offer an important alternative to mainstream independent education in Scotland.
Art exam pupils exhibited in the School Hall over 14th – 18th June 2021; GCSE pupils opening to family on Monday evening, followed by Advanced Higher pupils on Wednesday evening. Class bubbles of peers aged 6 – 18 and teachers were invited to walk round the exhibition during the school day.
A selection of ten pieces from each pupil’s extensive body of over 50 works are exhibited here, in Edinburgh Steiner School’s first online art exhibition for our wider community to enjoy.
A unique aspect of the Steiner Waldorf curriculum is the integration of the arts into all academic disciplines throughout the education. This encourages the pupils’ emotional engagement with their learning, as well as developing their imagination and freedom of thinking, and instilling aesthetic appreciation.
