A short history:
1919
Rudolph Steiner asked Karl Schubert to set up the special class.
1964 the
school was recognised by the state.
1969 it
moved to new premises

What do the
children learn at the school?
Basic structure and curriculum
There are
twelve classes with four to eleven students in each.
They stay
with one class teacher until the end of Year 9.
Each class
has at least one assistant as well as a teacher.
School is
from 8.30 – 15.10 Monday to Wednesday and Thursday and Friday 8.30 – 12.45.
From Monday to Wednesday the children get a cooked lunch.
Just like
at the Waldorf School, Main Lesson is important and all other subjects are
woven into this. Each topic lasts five to six weeks.
Each day
starts with a whole school assembly.
The Kindergarten
This
follows the same hours as the school but is for children aged 3-7.
In Germany,
school doesn't start until children are seven but they are entitled to go to
Kindergarten form three.
What are
the advantages and disadvantages of this? And of our system?
Inclusion
Inclusion
is important in this school as it is no doubt in yours.
The Karl
Schubert School uses Theatre, Circus, Music, a holiday home and a farm to help.
How do you
think these might help?
Have you
any experience of opportunities like these?
More Karl Schubert Schools and Homes:
There are
further schools in Leipzig, Vienna, Graz, Filderstadt. Can you find any more?
Find out
what you can about the work they do.
Is it
better to separate people like this or keep them in the "main
stream"?
„In
Ehrfurcht empfangen, in Liebe erziehen, in Freiheit entlassen“
"Received
with respect, brought up with love, released in freedom"
That is the
motto of the Waldorf schools. Does your school do this?
What about
children with special needs like the ones who go to this school?
