Anyone else?

So I went to waldorf school in my early years, then swtiched to a middle school, but im hoping to maybe go back for highschool.

If anyone doesn't know what it is, look here:

It's really based on the arts, and almost spirituality, yet it's not religious. If that makes any sense, haha.

The classes are usually reallllyyyyy small, like 15 kids, and you get to lean alot of cool stuff.

It's almost 'hippie' if you will...

So does anyone else go to a waldorf school?

I haven't done Waldorf, but I did Montessori. I did preschool and grade one at a Montessori school, and my mother owns and operates her own Montessori preschool in her home.

The best way for me to describe Montessori is learning with multiple senses like touch, sound, sight, etc. The environment is set up to encourage the child to want to learn and to be excited about learning. A child's natural drive to learn is encouraged and developed so that they have a drive to learn through out their entire life.

Here's a couple links:

I think Montessori is awesome, and when I have children they will be going through a Montessori program. There are lots in my area, but I haven't heard of any Waldorf schools in my area.

My Theology teacher talks about the Waldorf schools alot. She seems to really like them, yet she still teaches us.
