Education as an Art
Education as an Art was the first widely circulated journal about Waldorf education in the United States. It began in 1940 as the Bulletin of the Rudolf Steiner School Association. The purpose of the journal was to inform Americans about Rudolf Steiner's pedagogy, support the Rudolf Steiner School of New York and to create interest in this education that might lead to other schools being opened. In 1969 the journal became known as Education as an Art: A Journal for the Waldorf Schools of North America. The initial impulse for the early journal become a reality with Waldorf schools and adult education centers reaching from coast to coast. The Online Waldorf Library is pleased to share these articles from the archives.
