Escuela Internacional Waldorf Rudolf Steiner

alicante-costa-blanca·Spain·Follows Waldorf pedagogy with two stages: early childhood (ages 3–5) and primary (ages 6–12). It is a nonprofit association formed by families and teachers united by this vision, committed to childhood and its full development and to caring for the environment. The project arose to meet the needs of contemporary times through Waldorf principles and methods. It offers a respectful educational space that attends to each developmental stage and to physical, emotional, spiritual and intellectual needs. This is materialized through Waldorf principles: respect for each individual in their development; teamwork among teachers; and ongoing collaboration between family and school. The school is in the process of accreditation with NEASC (New England Association of Schools and Colleges). It also notes the professional involvement of Sandra Chandía, a Waldorf teacher with more than 22 years of experience, who specializes in early childhood education and serves as a pedagogical advisor to teachers and families and as a speaker in Waldorf teacher training; she founded “Vivir Waldorf” and creates online and in-person courses and workshops.
