 Waldorf Alumni "A Steiner education teaches you to think differently from the herd. I’ve found that independent ideas can be very valuable in the investment world." David Nadel ’87, Managing Director, Bear Stearns "Society tells you that there is only one way to do things. Steiner students learn to create their own initiative and to be can-do thinkers." Deborah Winer ’79, Playwright "I loved school! I hated being sick because I didn’t want to miss anything. I felt teachers cared about me so much, it gave me confidence. Now I feel there’s nothing I can’t do." Jessica Winer ’80, Artist "Waldorf taught me how to think for myself, to be accountable for my actions, to be a good listener, and to be sensitive to the needs of others. It also helped me to focus on the underlying importance of beliefs, and values that are the foundations of good leadership." Kenneth Chenault, Vice Chairman of American Express Supporters of Waldorf Education "Waldorf students are encouraged to live with self-assurance, a reverence for life and a sense of service." Ernest Boyer, President "Being personally acquainted with a number of Waldorf students, I can say that they come closer to realizing their own potentials than practically anyone I know." Joseph Weizenbaum,
Ph.D. "This notion, that imagination is the heart of learning, animates the entire arc of Waldorf teaching." Todd Oppenheimer, author, "Schooling the Imagination" "If I had a child of school age, I would send him to one of the Waldorf schools." Saul Bellow, Author, Nobel Laureate "The advent of the Waldorf Schools was in my opinion the greatest contribution to world peace and understanding of the century." Willy Brandt, former
Chancellor West Germany "If there is any one thing that the Waldorf system does, it nurtures, protects, and develops the intelligence of the true child." Joseph Chilton Pearce, Author, The Magical Child |
