Have you heard of the Waldorf method of homeschooling?
This philosophy of learning was originally developed by Rudolf Steiner in the early 1900’s. He started a school in the Waldorf Astoria factory which is where the method got its name. As you’ll see in a minute, it uses a holistic approach to education and has been adopted (all or in part) by some homeschoolers.
I have some articles for you today explaining this educational method. Hopefully, they will help you decide if this technique is right for your children.
