The program for Waldorf class teachers in Leiden, Netherlands is a fully accredited teacher education program, recognized by Waldorf schools as well as by the government and the accreditation organization of the Netherlands and Flanders (NVAO). We offer Bachelor of Education programs in Waldorf education, as well as in Eurythmy and Music. There are three affiliated research programs devoted to the value of Waldorf Education, Education & Nature and Music in Education. Students come from all over The Netherlands, but also from Belgium, Germany, and other countries. The teacher education programs can be characterized as open, student-centered learning places. They collaborate closely with Waldorf schools (in the form of learning on the job) and with the association for Waldorf schools in Holland. Within the Faculty of Education, we work together with the other teacher education programs in an open, responsive way. Graduates of the programs are qualified to teach both in Waldorf and in public schools, in The Netherlands and abroad.
