Since i got pregnant, I was very clear that I wanted a different education for my daughter Sara.
During my years at the university, I had taught private tutoring to students of all ages and had observed something that worried me a lot..
At some point all children completely lose interest in learning. They live their passage through the school as a real torture, an obligation they have to accept because they have no other choice. I didn't want that for my daughter.
Learning cannot be an obligation, not a torture. That is why from very early on I looked for schools with active methodologies for Sara. In Madrid he was at the Ideo school. She was delighted, because in that school, children were protagonists of their own learning.
She has always been very happy to school. He loved to learn, He had an innate curiosity and kept asking questions and telling us at home all the things he had learned at school. However when we got to Alicante, things have changed.
As soon as you arrive in Alicante, We looked for a school with active methodologies and we enrolled it in one that convinced us, At first. But before long we realized that it was not what it seemed.
In a few weeks we find mountains of homework, of subjects that my daughter was not interested in at all.
A lot of exams and a lot of competition, In 3rd grade!
My daughter started telling me that she didn't want to go to school anymore, and so I made the decision to get her out of there as soon as possible.
It was still a school like so many others, in which children are considered mere containers of information. Where the content is the center of teaching and where the interest or motivation of the child is not taken into account, nor their individual evolution, nor its development and its vital moment.
Look for the options in Alicante, and the truth is that the possibilities are quite small.
I finally found the Waldorf School and fell in love. Okay, we fall in love.
First of all the environment, in wild nature, surrounded by flowers, with a garden cultivated by the students themselves.
Then we fell in love with the methodology. A teaching marked by respect with capital letters.
Respect for the child as a complete and upright human being.
Respect for their physical evolution, psychic and emotional.
Respect for your individuality.
Respect for their interests and their motivations.
In Waldorf I found an education that understands the essence and nature of the child and adapts to it.
A teaching in which you learn with the whole body, with all the senses and not only with the mind.
An education on the move, from experience and experience.
Playing, experimenting, understanding, singing, jumping, Playing, drawing, weaving, cultivating, writing…
We fall in love with the values promoted at school, of how the limits are marked and the love that surrounds each act.
We also fall in love with a beauty that permeates everything.
Children's notebooks, the classrooms, the station tables, all the material used is precious.
My daughter Sara is delighted. He loves his school, and feels a great interest to learn more and more. In fact, she is proud of everything she does at school and everything she learns.
It's something I see in most of your peers. Waldorf children are different. It is something that shows in dealing with them. They are self-confident and very respectful children.
And I speak of respect, not only from them to others, but towards themselves. They understand where the limit is and they also set their own limits. They respect and they know how to enforce. And this in my opinion, it is very important in life.
The Waldorf Alicante school is part of our lives and our family.
And I sincerely believe, what is the best gift we can give our daughter Sara.
A present for the whole life.
So, if you live in Alicante and want to know the Waldorf school, I recommend that you come to:
