The Education Year builds on the insights gained in the Foundation Studies courses. It aims to guide students in the application of the child-centered Waldorf curriculum in such a way that they can develop, within themselves, the capacity and the skill to find teaching methods out of their own inner resources.
Seminars are held five times per week. The Foundation Year arts, as well as storytelling, handwork, and woodworking, continue throughout the Education Year courses with an emphasis upon pedagogical application. There are two study options: grades teaching or kindergarten teaching. Students divide up accordingly for roughly 46 of the seminars out of the total of 105.
