It is justified to speak about the art of education by Rudolf Steiner. In every single school it depends, indeed, on the teachers who are implementing the art of education there. Every school in every country has, therefore, its own character, its individual form of this art of education. And still, they are unmistakably waldorf schools because they are inspired out of the the spirit.
