Live Oak offers an integrated developmental program inspired by Waldorf Education. Our approach has its roots in the studies of Rudolf Steiner, a philosopher and educational reformer from the first half of the 20th century. Steiner's educational pedagogy stressed the importance of building an education that resonates with the different stages and threads of human development. Steiner's picture of human development has been refined over time, and is in dynamic conversation with modern research and practice. It is the inspiration to understand and best support the unfolding child that drives Live Oak's work. Live Oak strives to bring forth the best of our students’ academic, artistic, physical, social and emotional capacities to prepare them to engage their future with confidence and enthusiasm.
