Curriculum of the Waldorf Schools

Instructional Design and Curriculum Frameworks

In the curriculum of the Waldorf schools, most academic subjects are taught in blocks, usually lasting three to five weeks, during which each pupil generally writes and illustrates a self-created textbook covering the material learned. These blocks are supported by ongoing classes throughout the year in subjects such as music, art and crafts, and foreign languages.
