Rudolf Steiner's rich legacy can be found in many fields: education, farming, medicine, architecture, movement, eurythmy, music and more. Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) was born in Austria and his early work focused on science, the classics and philosophy.
His belief in the science of spiritual life became known as Anthroposophy, and he gave lectures on this in many European countries in the early twentieth century.
In the aftermath of the First World War, Steiner's ideas on social renewal and reorganisation gained wider recognition, and in 1919 he was asked to start a school in Stuttgart for the children of workers at the Waldorf cigarette factory.
There are now over nine hundred Steiner Waldorf schools around the world, all sharing a common regard and appreciation for his educational methods. Each school is unique but part of a family working with the same ethos and approach. The connection between Steiner Waldorf education, Rudolf Steiner and Anthroposophy
