ABOUT US

Kaunas Waldorf School is a non-governmental general education school based on the Waldorf pedagogy system.

Our vision is a Waldorf school that covers all stages of general education, where teachers, children and parents are constantly educating others and themselves.

Our mission is to create an environment based on Waldorf pedagogy principles in which a child develops to be confident in themselves and their abilities - a clear-minded person with a sensitive heart and a strong will.

The aim of our education is to create conditions for students to grow into harmonious, free and responsible personalities by teaching according to the General Programs adapted to Waldorf pedagogy.
