What is Waldorf ?

At Mount Kenya Waldorf School, we embrace the rich tradition and philosophy of Waldorf education, inspired by the visionary Rudolf Steiner. Our school is dedicated to nurturing the whole child – mind, body, and spirit – through an immersive and holistic educational approach.

In our classrooms, learning is a vibrant and dynamic experience that integrates academic subjects with artistic expression, movement, and practical skills. We follow a curriculum that honors the developmental stages of childhood, allowing each student to learn in a way that is meaningful and engaging.

Central to Waldorf education is the belief in the importance of cultivating creativity and imagination. Through music, drama, painting, and handcrafts, students explore their artistic potential and develop a deep appreciation for beauty and aesthetic expression.

We also place a strong emphasis on the social and emotional well-being of our students. Our dedicated teachers create a supportive and nurturing environment where every child feels valued, respected, and encouraged to thrive.

Transitioning from a Waldorf school to another educational system can be a concern for parents. However, at Mount Kenya Waldorf School, we ensure a smooth transition for our students. Our curriculum and teaching methods prepare them well for future educational endeavors, including seamlessly integrating into traditional schools or higher education institutions. Students leave our school equipped not only with a solid academic foundation but also with essential life skills and a love for learning.

At Mount Kenya Waldorf School, we are committed to providing an education that prepares students for success in all aspects of life. We invite you to explore our Waldorf-inspired programs and discover the transformative power of holistic education.

Join us on this journey of discovery, growth, and lifelong learning!

“Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility—these three forces are the very nerve of education.”
