OUR PHILOSOPHY
The Waldorf curriculum is designed to help children grow into curious, confident, compassionate human beings - ready to meet life with clarity, resilience, and purpose.
At Banyan Earth School, we follow the time-honoured principles of Waldorf Education—a child-centered, holistic approach to learning that has flourished across six continents and over 75 countries, including India, where it has been growing since 1997.
Founded in Germany in 1919 by philosopher Rudolf Steiner, Waldorf Education nurtures the balanced development of a child’s intellectual, emotional, and physical capacities—in harmony with one another.
The Waldorf curriculum is age-appropriate, rich in sensory and experiential learning, and deeply rooted in real-life context. It adapts to local culture, honouring seasons, festivals, foods, and traditions. Art, music, movement, and storytelling are seamlessly woven into the rhythm of the day, creating an engaging and joyful learning environment.
As Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping our world, Waldorf Education is more relevant than ever. It cultivates the uniquely human capacities that machines cannot replicate – creativity, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, ethical awareness, and practical problem-solving.
