The Manila Waldorf School Timberland Heights

The holistic development of the young's "hand, heart and head" as espoused by the Waldorf educational movement has found its perfect home in the country's premier mountain suburban town.

The Manila Waldorf School Timberland Heights opens its doors in June 2010 on a one-hectare property that was donated to the school by Filinvest Land, Inc. Timberland Heights" ideal location, with its natural and pollution-free surroundings, is a perfect match for the Waldorf philosophy and curriculum.

The Manila Waldorf School is the pioneer school of Waldorf/Steiner education in the Philippines. Founded in 1994, it now has about 220 students enrolled from pre-school to high school with campuses located in Quezon City. It is recognized by the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland as an authentic Waldorf or Steiner school. 

The Waldorf/Steiner movement, founded in 1919 by the Austrian scientist and educator, Dr. Rudolf Steiner, is one of the fastest growing non-traditional education movements in the world. At present, there are more than 800 Steiner schools in 60 countries worldwide. Its educational philosophy is based on the developmental stages of childhood and adolescence. 

On June 2010. MWSI will transfer its entire school operations to Timberland Heights. However, it will continue to operate a satellite kindergarten facility in Quezon City. It will, therefore, be able to offer a fully integrated pre-school, grade school and high school program on a single campus. In order to preserve a low teacher-student ration, it will have a maximum population of only 350-400 students. 

Despite its unique educational approach and ideal location, MWSI offer affordable tuition fees that are comparable to those of traditional schools. The school will also offer a limited drop-off and pick-up bus service in selected locations along the route.
