| Waldorf schools are organized to make the relationship between student and teacher as fruitful as possible. In the grades, this is accomplished by the unique class teacher/main lesson system. Each morning the children spend the first period of the day—the two-hour main lesson—with their class teacher. During this time when young minds are freshest, they intensively study a block from one of the core subjects. In this way the rhythm of the day begins with work that requires the most attention and each academic subject can receive special focus during the course of the year. The teacher has time to delve into each subject in depth and to approach it in a variety of ways enlivening each topic with poetry, painting, modeling and drama. After about a month, when one topic is fully explored, a new main lesson block is introduced. |
