About
- Description
- Started in September 2017, Island Waldorf School is the first school on Hong Kong island to offer high quality Waldorf education to children aged 3-14. It is also a non-profit, bilingual Waldorf school. By 2021/22, we offer classes from lower kindergarten to Class 6. We will grow organically by adding one more class over each of the following years until we reach grade 8. Our campuses are located in Kennedy Town and Shek Tong Tsui and are easily accessible by public transport. Given the prevalence of highly stressful exam-oriented educational cultures in Asia, and also with recent events inflicting varying degrees of individual and collective trauma, the health-giving quality of the Steiner Waldorf education is much needed by the children and their families in Hong Kong. The pedagogy helps children develop physical, emotional, intellectual, personal, social, artistic, and practical skills in an integrated and holistic manner; truly an education of the head-heart-hands. With strong emphasis on freedom and creativity, a high value is placed on child-initiated play in the early years, imagination in the primary school and critical thinking at secondary level. Diversity among children is embraced in an atmosphere of trust and reverence of the individual, the community, and the earth. The Island Waldorf School offers this healing education in Hong Kong since 2017. The student body has grown from 11 to 100 with classes from kindergarten to Class 6. IWS will add classes yearly until Class 8. IWS is entirely funded by parents' contribution and community donations. Find out more about us at iws.edu.hk!
