Employing a threefolding structure that leaves tutors free to be imaginatively creative in their work as well as be true to its anthroposophical roots.
STAR stands for Steiner Tutoring And Research
Research refers to the study, undertaken by the tutors individually and together as part of their ongoing professional development, of Anthroposophy, especially as it pertains to the tutoring of the child.
Enspirited Steiner Education
Enspirited Steiner education means education that holds the spirit of humanity within it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How did the STAR initiative begin?
STAR was born in 2022 out of a request to tutors from home-schooling parents who wanted to have the richness and joy of learning the Steiner way available for their children.
Q. Will there be mention of God, spirit or soul in the lessons?
Yes. Steiner Education is based on Anthroposophy, a philosophy that acknowledges the human spirit within a spiritual universe. For a further description of Steiner educational principles, including its Christian roots, refer to Alduino Mazzone’s ‘A Passionate Schooling’.
