Why should you enrol and study in the S Series of courses?
It is only possible for Schools to deliver the unique form of education that characterises Steiner Waldorf schools if the teachers, school leaders, and parents understand the main Steiner principles that underpin the pedagogy and teaching methods.
Today our lifestyles are typically rushed and busy. Teachers and school leaders who are newcomers to Steiner education are often ‘thrown in the deep end,’ and obliged to learn about Steiner education, on the run.
The S Series of courses are designed to support you to learn the essential features of Steiner Waldorf philosophy and teaching methods in as stress-free a way as possible.

What students say about the learning
I have thoroughly enjoyed engaging with this unit. The content selected and delivered by Bronwen has been both highly relevant and incredibly inspiring. Bronwen herself brings a scope of knowledge, understanding and skills second-to-none. I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to participate in this teaching and learning experience.
This course was hugely important to my development as a person, educator, and student. I found my lecturer very inspiring, deeply knowledgeable, and caring. She explained complex ideas in ways that I could understand. A wonderful role model.
My lecturer is a well published and respected academic whose passion for her work is infectious. Her distillation of content and Power Point presentations, along with her vast experience ease the difficulty and lighten the complexity of the material covered. Being in her lectures is always a highlight of my week. Theoretical content is given life, depth and meaning, and the joy of learning nurtured and sustained.

Rudolf Steiner
Steiner (1861 – 1925) was a remarkably gifted thinker who actively contributed to the intellectual, cultural, aesthetic, and spiritual life of his time. He worked tirelessly to bring about the reunion of the sciences, the arts, spirituality, and culture on which, he believed, the flourishing development of Western culture was dependent. Steiner outlined holistic and innovative principles and offered practical guidelines in many disciplines, such as medicine, education, the arts, drama, the new art of eurythmy, architecture, philosophy, religion, economics, and bio-dynamic agriculture.
