How does the enrolment process work at our school?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Waldorf education is based on the anthropological laws of human development, with greater relevance for the first three septenary periods (0-7, 7-14 and 14-21), which constitute the educational period par excellence. It is during this time that the three major functions of human life develop: Thinking, Feeling and Wanting (Acting), namely the cognitive, emotional and active areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1st, 2nd and 3rd cycles of schooling fall within the second septennium, which will take place based on what was experienced in the first. With this in mind, it is extremely important for pedagogical practice to take into account the first septennium, where the child’s progressive school maturity is observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first enrolment in school is accompanied by several meetings with the child’s early childhood educators, parents and future teachers, so that the future student’s maturity can be assessed and observed. Respecting the appropriate time for the child’s integration into the schooling process contributes to a healthy and harmonious pace of development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
