This material was written by Rudolph Steiner who is best known as the founder of the worlds largest private school system, The Waldorf Schools. Some 900 plus, which educate from kindergarten through high schools. I educated my children in them through the eighth grade. They do nothing to influence the children in Anthroposphy, the movement Steiner developed, as their stated guiding principle is to help the children "remember their destiny", i.e. why the child incarnated this time.

The three works cited are the core of the curriculum the student-Teachers' study. My four daughters are delighted and grateful for this approach to personal development and still thank me from time to time. I used to say I was betting their lives that this would be the best education I could offer to them. Guess I was right. Whew!!!

The Waldorf schools main emphasis in the early years is to foster the imagination, cooperation, and initiative of the child. From that a fully balanced individual came come to be. I once studied these texts and they are hard to get through even with someone fully acquainted with their content as a guide. Just a little context for their content.
