A Rudolf Steiner Waldorf School founded in 1960 Botton Village School is founded upon the educational ideals of Rudolf Steiner. It is one small school in a worldwide movement that strives to help children mature into free independent adults. The first school was set up in 1919, in Stuttgart, Germany. There are now over seven hundred Rudolf Steiner Waldorf Schools established throughout the world that base their approach and curriculum on Steiner's ideas. We are a full member of the Steiner Waldorf Schools' Fellowship.
