What do we stand for?
The WOB stands for the enrichment of the school landscape of South Tyrol with head, heart and hand. We understand ourselves as Waldorf high and middle school, which works in a multilingual region of Europe on the basis of the pedagogy of J. H. Pestalozzi and Rudolf Steiner that concludes with the Waldorf degree.
What is important for us?
We do not stick to standards, but to the individual and try to support him / her in his abilities and interests in self-determined learning and action. Everybody should be able to face the environment and the fellow human beings with respect and empathy and constantly grow personally.
What makes us special?
We offer a wide range of subjects based on the equality of cognitive and artistic skills. We promote an encounter between school and the world of work, rely on various forms of examination and learning strategies, and open the door to distant worlds for the children.
