STEINER TEACHER TRAINING COURSE 2015 – 2018

INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATES

The course is for those who are working with and interested in educating young children, who want to learn about Steiner education, love children deeply and desire to educate children with love, humanity, nature and freedom. Each module is connected to the practice of practical skills; teachers will be trained in skills to develop love, skills in painting, sculpture, piano, singing and storytelling – all make up the prerequisite for work and careers in educating children.

If you are interested in modern parenting, want your child to develop imagination, self-discipline, and especially know how to live in harmony with others and nature, then the course is for you and your child. Parents can join a number of separate modules to improve their knowledge and skills to become their own experts instead of swimming in the chaotic educational information pool. The knowledge and skills offered in the course are not limited to preschool age but also useful even when your child is 18 or 20 years old.
