Albios thinks it is important to have age-appropriate education of children, to create a school which is like a family - an education founded on the Anthroposophy elaborated by Rudolf Steiner.

An educator combines their grasp of anthropology, Goethean observation, and the practical skills of art and crafts with the untutored loving care towards the developing child. Society has a great treasure in children thus guided.

Society puts industrial requirements into the education system. This introduces some pathologies. The family today is less and less in a position to act as a “maternal protection” during infancy. This “protection”, essential for a healthy development of the human being, must be woven as a common job between home and schools.

In Waldorf schools, that is those schools based upon an Anthroposophical understanding, children of every race and rank, of each faith and social background are welcomed if their parents wish to work in this way with the school.

Many people know Goethe for his theatrical and poetic works. He is known also for his artistic theories of colour. But very little is known of his revolutionary scientific endeavours.

The scientific method of J.W. Goethe, assiduously deepened and elaborated by Rudolf Steiner, is based on a profound observation of the beings of nature and paves the way to the conviction that we can meet the spiritual in all natural manifestations .

In education this method encourages children towards a deep sensitivity and harmony with the natural world. They can begin an authentic relationship, free of over-intellectual theories and “scientific” separation, therefore enabling deeper communication. The social consequences of such a sharpening of sensibility towards their surroundings are obvious.

Art makes it possible for a person to show their familiarity with the spirit. In its essence, art enables the Spirit to manifest itself and Man to know Spirit. That is also important within education: in the periods of watercolor, design, painting, sculpting, eurhythmy, and music, children experience colour, shape, sound and movement in a complete way, with all the their being. This also helps to ground the academic subjects : mathematics, history, geography, mineralogy, botany ......

In a similar way, with the work of ones own hands, adults and children experience themselves “to the very tips of their fingers”, so that their will is strengthened. One could hardly over-emphasize how much society has need of people of tenacious will! Manual work contrasts positively with the technological habits of our time.
