Why Waldorf Now

Whether you are new to Waldorf education and looking to learn more, or a long-time Waldorf family looking to understand more deeply the “whys” of Waldorf education, we’ve compiled resources below on everything from media to brain science.

Portland Waldorf School is the oldest Waldorf school in the region, with a foundation grounded in the principles of Rudolph Steiner’s understanding of human development, and a mission to uplift humanity. Steiner called for an education that was adaptive and responsive to the needs of young people in the moment. Waldorf schools around the world were called forth to put this tenant into practice. We have modified our programs to educate students during a pandemic, and are making the changes necessary to meet today's challenges, from working for a more inclusive and just society to fostering a life-long love of learning in students.
