Anyone Home Schooling Using the Waldorf Philosophy?

I have incorporated a lot of Waldorf elements into my home-school curriculum and I really believe that it is the best option out there. I also think it is the most fun way to watch a child grow.

One thing to know is that if you Waldorf in a school or at home and follow the curriculum, your child will not be ready for public school until at least the third grade. At that point, many Waldorfers are prepared to blast past the curve. They've got a fantastic foundation.

I wish that Rudolph Steiner had more influence in all educational circles.

There is a great home-schooling Waldorf community in Austin. There used to be a small one in San Antonio, but it has disbanded. I wish you the best!

If you live in Austin, particularly South Austin, there is a large group of homeschooling moms. They have a very organized enrichment program as well. You could call the Austin Waldorf School--###-###-####--and they could give you the phone numbers. If you are not in Austin, look in your directory for a local Waldorf school and they will most likely have information for you. Good Luck!

I dont know what feedback you will get but I have a friend who has has her son in the Waldorf system for a few years. I am happy to put you in contact ~ just email me. I also have a challenging 8 year old son. We are struggling through public school ~ but they definitely have the best resources for us!
