"Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impact purpose and directions in their lives.

The need for imagination, a sense of truth and a feeling of responsibility - these are the 3 forces which are the very nerve of education"

Rudolf Steiner

Educating the head, heart and hands.
