Get to know our Waldorf Education programs from the comfort of your own home.

At Antioch University New England, we believe in educating the whole child, and that is why for decades we have been at the forefront of Waldorf teacher education.

Cultivating Wonder and Resilience

From music to visual art to movement, you will learn to see the child through many lenses. By developing your capacities for observation and imagining how to help a child in non-verbal ways, you will become a better teacher—a teacher who protects and nurtures your students’ capacity for wonder and presence.

A Supportive Learning Community Centered on Social Justice

Our graduates enter their own classrooms with already-developed skills as good, collaborative colleagues. And we place a special emphasis on issues of social justice both in our pedagogy and in the communities we serve.
