This project integrate the arts in all disciplines for children from preschool to primary school. Nature, music, dance and theater, writing, literature, legends and myths are not simply subjects to be read about and tested. They are experienced. Through these experiences, Waldorf students cultivate their intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual capacities to be individuals certain of their paths and to be of service to the world.

“Waldorf Education is not a pedagogical system but an art – the art of awakening what is actually there within the human being.” 
by Rudolf Steiner

The project of outdoor spaces allows the developing several activities in direct relationship with nature and his poetry.

The space develops in three levels: the entrance level with the main activity area for primary school with the amphitheater and vegetable garden; the preschool level which remain the pines and the parking level. In the all green area this project give relevance to the local vegetation. This provides children contact with natural vegetation and fits the school into the urban landscape.
