WALDORF SCHOOL

The association Libera Scuola Waldorf di Palermo, is a non-profit organisation, founded in 1986, to
which teachers and parents belong with the aim to promote the pedagogy and the educational activities
based on anthroposophy, and to implement other educational activities open to everybody, particularly
children and young people who live in disadvantaged conditions.
The association is part of an international movement with more than 1000 Waldorf schools, inspired by
the principles of Steiner pedagogy and, since 1992, it manages a kindergarten and an officially recognized
school up to class 5. Concurrently with the educational activities of the first five classes and with the
support of home-schooling for the middle school (years 6, 7 and 8), the association promotes other
activities:
- excursions connected with the seasons and specific holidays, organised in order to have children and
families live the atmosphere of the seasons and cultivate the social aspects.
- Christmas and Easter bazars and pedagogical exhibitions during which the pedagogy and its outcomes
are shown to the families and anybody who is external to the association.
- Musical activities; the association has its own orchestra to which the older pupils belong.
- Courses and seminars for adults about pedagogical anthroposophical and artistic matters (singing,
eurythmy, painting etc.)
