FOUNDATION STUDIES

Although Foundation Studies is required as a basis for teacher education, it can also be attended

separately. It focuses on the written work of Rudolf Steiner, courses in a variety of arts, and provides an introduction to a contemporary path of inner development. The goal of these courses is to awaken participants to the soul-spiritual nature of the human being and to enliven their sense of themselves, others, and the natural world around them.


This is a shorter two year program consisting of three academic terms per year with 4 classes offered per term. Each term lasts for 7 weekends with scheduled breaks throughout the academic year designed to honor holidays and the live/work balance of our students.


A Certificate of Completion is conferred once all classes have been completed, and  all course credits will be honored if the student decides to enroll in the Teacher Education Program at a later date. 


Schedule, certificate class requirements, and tuition/payment options are listed below.
