Krisol Waldorf Steiner School Open Doors February 22

Krisol is a cooperative of parents and teachers composed of a primary school for ages 6 to 12 and by two kindergarden groups that cover the early years from 3 to 6.

From the beginning, Krisol has had a close relationship with the town of Premià de Dalt, in Maresme. It begun in 2004 as a pioneering educational Waldorf initiative in the area. The initial period of consolidation lasted 10 years in the first house named Can Botey, where the first kindergarden class was open. In 2016 Krisol begun its expansion when it moved its headquarters to Villa Matilde, a space where besides the primary and kidergarden classes it includes over one hectare of outdoor playground where the children can enjoy their day-to-day free play and contact with nature.

Playgroup

The Waldorf education sets the child in the center of the learning process. It is understood that, besides the physical and mental planes, we are also made of the spiritual plane. From the Play Team it is of paramount importance to preserve the essence of every child. Confidence and self-esteem are cultivated through the imitation of chores, through the repetition of tasks such as baking bread or story telling. Free play is a recurrent activity of the children.

Primary

In primary school, the group teacher has a fundamental role, as he or she will accompany the group and each student in their own evolution, throughout the cycle, until moving on to secondary school. The teachings come from the figure of the teacher and his stories, instead of textbooks. As the courses unfold, other specialists join in for subjects such as english, music, sports…

Krisol is a school where all family members take part and learn. Through different work groups parents are able cover organisational and operational aspects of the school. Additionally, the school offers families continuous training on the educational method, bridging and faciliting the transition between them.
