“The school is a place of meeting between two generations who teach and learn from each other… a space of reflection where the established order, rather than being perpetuated can instead be renewed, embracing the new evolutionary drives of each new generation.” R.Steiner
Waldorf-Steiner El Til·ler school started with a group of parents and teachers aware that education is the engine of social development
El Til-ler provides an education based on the respect for child development , with an attentive presence of the adult to the child’s needs. The school facilitates the development of the child and young person's own skills and abilities and offers a vibrant and coherent education from early childhood through high school. Waldorf-Steiner El Til·ler School is the only approved school by Department of Education of the Generalitat of Catalunya that offers the full Waldorf Education Curriculum.
The school is a self-financed cooperative with 212 families and teachers since 1999. As an independent and autonnomous organization, the school is self-managed, therefore dependent on the contributions from parents and the teachers’ commitment.
This year, due to the complicated situations caused by COVID-19, some families are going through financial hardship and are having great difficulties maintaining their sons and daughters at school putting their continuance at school at risk, as well as the school’s sustainability.
This is why your collaboration is key to helping these children and young people finish their studies and enter in society as free conscious adults that are willing to improve their environment**, and for families to continue supporting this community.
Thank you for supporting the Waldorf-Steiner School El Til·ler grow strong and flourish.
At the Waldorf-Steiner El Til·ler school community we believe that money should not be a limitation in education, and that education is key to build a healthier and more humane future. Waldorf pedagogy embraces this vision.
We need to respond to the financial hardship of families in our community that are affected by the Covid19 crisis with scholarships that ease their financial pressure and allow their children to stay at school until the end of the school year.
We want to:
- Ensure that all children that want to stay at the school can do so
- Help families in need by reducing the school fees during the remainder of the school year (2020-2021)
-
Fund the scholarship program of Waldorf-Steiner El Til·ler school with a minimum of 6.000€ and an optimal of 9.000€
With 6.000€ we ensure that:
- 1 preschooler can finish the school year
-
1 student in primary, secondary or high school can finish the school year
With 9.000€ we ensure that:
- 1 preschooler can finish the school year
- 1 student in primary, secondary or high school can finish the school year
- 1 preschooler can have financial support for 3 months
- 1 student in primary, secondary or high school can have financial support for 3 months
Waldorf-Steiner El Til·ler school is an alternative the current educational model, it offers an education that is respectful of the child for him to fully realize as an adult. We deeply believe that education is key for a healthier and more humane society.
We’re reaching out to those that, like us, believe that education is a founding pillar of our society and that our educational model fits a shared vision for the future:
- A society formed by individuals with critical and free thinking,
- that values art and creativity as elements of transformation,
- that cares about nature and its fruits,
- that fosters healthy practices
- that shows respect and fraternity for everyone
- with conscious technology use
This campaign honors our value of solidarity by helping families who struggle financially to keep their children at the school.
Waldorf-Steiner El Til·ler school has over 300 students. 212 families and teachers are part of the cooperative.
The Fund-Raising Committee has been very active in the past years to promote Waldorf pedagogy in Catalonia and particularly providing support to El Til·ler’s consolidation as the only Waldorf school in the region which offers schooling from nursery to High School.
In 2017 the Economic Committee was initiated to respond to financial needs of families and school, and in 2019 the Scholarship Committee was created.
