Waldorf School and Kindergarten Doctors
Welcome to our homepage!
Many Waldorf schools have a school doctor, usually part-time or even full-time. The idea for this can be traced back to the inaugurator of Waldorf schools, Rudolf Steiner, who found a first school doctor in Eugen Kolisko. Today, international continuing education conferences for school and kindergarten doctors are held regularly at the Goetheanum, and training programs have been established in many countries. This homepage offers an overview of what school doctors do, along with possibilities for continuing education, literature, how to contact a mentor, and possible openings at schools to help you get started and learn more about this very fulfilling work.
