Waldorf education integrates storytelling, poetry, painting, drawing, music, drama, and modeling to cultivate knowledge in a way that is both meaningful and enduring. Join Howard Schrager as he reflects on four decades of teaching, where the educator’s own creative striving serves as an inspiration for students. Learn how balancing intellectual learning with artistic expression fosters deep engagement and lifelong curiosity. Explore how this approach not only awakens hidden potential but also nurtures qualities essential for a thriving and compassionate society.
