Education for Adolescents

In these eight talks on education for adolescent-aged young people, Steiner addressed the teachers of the first Waldorf school two years after it was first opened. A high school was needed, and Steiner wanted to provide a foundation for study and a guide for teachers already familiar with his approach to the human being, child development, and education based on spiritual science. Steiners education affirms the being of every child within the world of spirit. This approach works within the context of the childs gradual entry into earthly life, aided by spiritual forces, and childrens need for an education that cooperates with those forces.
