New Zealand Certificate of Steiner Education (Level 1)

This qualification aims to certify those students who have developed introductory skills, knowledge, capabilities and attitudes required for further secondary school life in a Rudolf Steiner pedagogical context. A key factor in this context is the Steiner/Waldorf curriculum for Year 11 which meets the requirements of the New Zealand Curriculum.

Steiner/Waldorf Education focuses on the whole child – it stimulates the mind with the full spectrum of traditional academic subjects; it nurtures healthy emotional and social development through child-centered learning and guides physical development through a broad range of artistic, movement, and craft activities.
