The Waldorf School of Louisville

Waldorf Teachers...

The primary task of a Waldorf teacher is to understand the human being in body, soul and spirit. From this understanding will grow the approach, the curriculum, and the methods of an education capable of addressing the whole child.
--Roberto Trostli

Waldorf: Arts, Math and Science

Waldorf education is known for its integration of arts into the curriculum.

What is not often as clearly recognized is how such integration supports a strong mathematics and sciences program.

Louis Schultz, a 1979 Green Meadow Waldorf School graduate, received his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from Syracuse University in 1990.

He credits his Waldorf education with showing him how science could be fun.


''I have asked myself what it was that sparked my strong interest in science and engineering. The conventional approach to science education doesn?’t seem to spark such interest in students today. I believe that Waldorf Education stimulated a natural curiosity in science with its balance of observation and theory. The Waldorf approach to technical subjects is a superb antidote to the current disinterest of newcomers to science and mathematics.''
