Our
highest endeavour must be to develop free human beings, who
are
able to impart purpose and direction to their lives.
–Rudolf Steiner
The primary task of Rudolf Steiner School Kings Langley
is to provide the best possible education for its pupils so
they may become not only knowledgeable, but also inwardly
free, secure and creative adults. The school strives to provide
an environment in which pupils find security, moral strength
and confidence to face the challenges of life with initiative
and responsibility.
The school provides a complete education from Kindergarten
to school leaving age. It is one of nearly nine hundred schools
(sometimes called Waldorf schools) which, in various parts
of the world, educate children according to the principles
of Rudolf Steiner.
The schools adapt themselves to each cultural tradition and
find their own ways of meeting the challenges that arise in
education. Whilst our school follows the Christian tradition,
many pupils come from other faiths and nationalities, and
the aim of Religion lessons is to lay the foundation for free
spiritual judgement in later life.
The curriculum arises out of awareness that the three human
faculties of thinking, feeling and willing unfold at different
times in a child's life, and need to be brought into harmony
in order that young adults may leave school 'free' to make
their way in the world usefully. |
