Waldorf Education for All marks the first time that Waldorf charter schools -- tuition free public schools that ascribe to a developmental methodology and teach according to the Waldorf curriculum -- have ever been filmed. Field coordinator Eugene Schwartz and his crew visited four Waldorf charter schools in Northern California in the spring of 2010 and set to work. Nothing was staged or prearranged: they filmed real classrooms with real children being taught by real teachers.
Spontaneity and warmth, rigorous thinking, joyful learning -- in this film such terms are not mere sound-bites. Cameraman Hal Rifkin and editor Sam Russell draw us smack into the middle of the classroom and give us a kinesthetic experience of what it is like to learn in the Waldorf setting. Never before has the warmth and intensity of the Waldorf teacher/student relationship been captured so fully as in this film.

  As the 100th anniversary of the founding of the first Waldorf school approaches, Rudolf Steiner’s original vision is slowly coming to be realized. The charter school movement in the USA has made it possible for parents and teachers to collaborate in the creation of publicly-funded Waldorf schools that can offer a tuition-free Waldorf education. The growth of this quintessentially twenty-first century phenomenon has been impressive. The first Waldorf charter school began in California in 1990, and 13 schools were open by 1999. The number of schools more than doubled in the next five years (2000-05), adding 15 more schools; and another 19 schools opened in the next five years (2006-2010). At the time of this writing (early 2011) there are 19 emerging new school initiatives planning to open in the next two years; it is projected that there will be 85 public Waldorf schools by the year 2015, and perhaps 100 by 2019, when the first school in Stuttgart celebrates its first century.
