Michael Hall was founded in 1925 as the first Steiner Waldorf School in the English-speaking world. As this form of education has become the largest independent educational movement in the world, Michael Hall is now one of over nine hundred schools in more than sixty countries. In many European countries the schools are funded by the state.
Each of these schools is part of its local cultural community, yet all have something in common: a profound respect for the individuality of every child. Each school also shares a curriculum and a teaching method that foster the young pupil's healthy development, stimulate the child's enthusiasm for learning and challenge the adolescent's emerging critical faculties.
