Waldorf-Steiner El Til-ler School

barcelona-spain·Spain·The school has Primària (primary) and Secundària (secondary) programs based on Waldorf pedagogy. The Primària program recognizes that children's impulse at this stage is to explore the world, and learning is approached through artistic activity across all areas. The teacher guides activities to help shape personal expressions, including music, flute, storytelling, poetry, drawing, and handcrafts. The school, together with other Waldorf schools in Catalonia and Spain, travels to Empúries to experience the spirit of the physical and inner work of the ancient Greek world. Secundària is a four-year holistic program comprising two final years of secondary and two years of bachillerat, with learning across scientific, humanistic, technological, and artistic subjects; in ninth grade the shift from myth to logos begins to be apparent.
