Accomplishments 

We have been collaborating with Waldorf seminars in Germany since 2010 to offer a three-year part-time Waldorf teacher preparation program and a two-year part-time early-childhood teacher preparation program. Meanwhile, a variety of courses and workshops have been offered, including such topics as high-school math and physics, curative education, arts and eurythmy, etc.

More than 45 classes have been offered and attended by over 1400 students in total. On the other hand, we have been also endeavoring to support more than 10 public and private Waldorf or Waldorf-inspired schools by sharing resources and introducing experienced foreign educators as mentors to their teachers.
