Welcome to Michael Mount's first podcast! In this episode, class teacher, Mrs Didi Offerman, shares some insight into the value of the Main Lesson as a holistic way of teaching.

At Michael Mount, curriculum topics are taught during an extended Main Lesson for the first two hours of the morning, for a period of 3 to 4 weeks – allowing in-depth exploration of one subject at a time. The Main Lesson ties one topic to as many disciplines as possible. Each Main Lesson is rhythmically structured so that the children have to listen, work independently, participate and think at different times – involving the child in activities that awaken their powers of head (intellect), heart (feeling) and hands (doing). The whole Main Lesson is permeated with rhythm, structure, and purpose.

We hope that you are able to learn a bit more about how Michael Mount Waldorf School nurtures conscious individuals through dynamic education. Please share this episode with others who are interested in a holistic education for their children.
