Let’s create independent school together.

The school which is constantly being innovated.

The school where the spirit of new generation, freedom and responsibility is fostered.

The school where humanistic and self – development of teachers, parents and children dominate.

Kaunas Waldorf school community is seeking to concentrate people in the community which would creatively participate in the development of Waldorf School.

Our children are the children of a new generation, who need orientated and creative teachers’ attitude to a personality.

Create conditions for children learning to express their thoughts freely, think creatively, deal responsibly, work independently and also help them understand the opportunities of self – realization.

Our History,

The Independence of the Lithuanian Republic – is the revival of the nation and wonderful winds of changes. The first vivid impulses of Waldorf pedagogics in Lithuania were inspired namely by the latter historical events. Starting with 1990, there appeared different initiatives which sought to update the stagnant pedagogical system in the country. Active teachers started to organize unions, studies, and affinity groups, related with Waldorf pedagogics in Vilnius, Kaunas, Kazlų Rūda, and Šilutė.

Our School also started with the initiative of a group of enthusiasts of Waldorf pedagogics and had to undergo a long and not a straightforward path of development until it turned into an independent Kaunas Waldorf School.
