Are Waldorf Schools Religious?


Listen Later

When I first googled this question myself, I found a lot of confusing and conflicting information. I felt that some of what I was finding did not reflect what I had experienced as a Waldorf alum.
Along with my guest, Glynn Graham, I explore the question "Are Waldorf Schools Religious?".  I found that while it was hard to explain in a concise way, it's really not that confusing a topic. My guest Glynn does a really great job helping me to bring clarity to this question.
In the episode she simply answers that, by a traditional definition, no Waldorf Schools are not religious. However there are aspects of Waldorf education, for instance fostering qualities like compassion, reverence, gratitude, and kindness, that most all major religions also foster. We go on to discuss other aspects of Waldorf education where there is confusion about a religious influence.
