Popis: Od osnivanja prve waldorfske škole u Stuttgartu 1919. proteklo je stotinu godina. Na području Hrvatske, u kojoj je rođen osnivač prve waldorfske škole Rudolf Steiner (1861. – 1925.), prva takva škola osnovana je u Zagrebu 12. rujna 1993. U Hrvatskoj početkom ovoga stoljeća djeluju dvije waldorfske (Zagreb i Rijeka) i jedna Montessori škola (Zagreb). Tijekom prvih 25 godina osnovnu waldorfsku školu u Zagrebu završilo je 230 učenika. Svi su nastavili školovanje u hrvatskim srednjim školama (gimnazije, ekonomske, medicinske, tehničke i razne obrtničke škole). Za rad u waldorfskim školama prvi učitelji školovani su uz pomoć waldorfskih ustanova u Austriji, a u novije vrijeme osnovan je Institut za waldorfsku pedagogiju u Zagrebu, koji omogućuje stalno školovanje i usavršavanje učitelja za poučavanje prema pedagoškoj teoriji i načelima Rudolfa Steinera. Nekoliko učitelja završilo je studij waldorfske pedagogije u Njemačkoj, Nizozemskoj ili Engleskoj. Tijekom prvih četvrt stoljeća djelovanja waldorfski učitelji osigurali su čvrstu suradnju s udrugama waldorfskih učitelja u Austriji, Njemačkoj i Nizozemskoj. Mnogi su učitelji i čitava razredna odjeljenja gostovali u waldorfskim školama nabrojenih država. Waldorfska škola u Zagrebu akreditirana je kao privatna alternativna škola za koju većinu financijskih troškova pokrivaju roditelji. Prvu zgradu s četiri učionice školi je darovao Grad Zagreb, a uz pomoć stranih donatora (austrijski, njemački i nizozemski prijatelji waldorfske pedagogije) izgrađene su četiri montažne drvene učionice te radionica za ručni rad i dvorana za euritmiju. Višegodišnje djelovanje prve waldorfske škole u Zagrebu imalo je velik utjecaj na razvijanje ozračja za osnivanje novih alternativnih škola te za uvođenje pedagoškoga pluralizma u hrvatske državne škole. Posebna važnost ove prve alternativne škole bilo je upoznavanje budućih učitelja državnih škola s pedagogijom Rudolfa Steinera, koja se bitno razlikuje od dominantne pedagogije u državnim školama.
It has been a hundred years since the first Waldorf school was established in Stuttgart. As it happens, Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925), the founder of the first Waldorf school, was born in Croatia and the first such school was established in Zagreb on 12 September 1993. At the beginning of this century, two Waldorf schools (Zagreb and Rijeka) and one Montessori school (Zagreb) operated in Croatia. During its first 25 years, 230 students finished the Waldorf primary school in Zagreb. They all continued with their training at Croatian secondary schools (gymnasiums, business schools, medical schools, technical schools, and various trade schools). The first teachers who worked in Waldorf schools were trained at Waldorf institutions in Austria, however, the recently established Institute for Waldorf Education in Zagreb now provides ongoing education and training for teachers whose work is based on the educational theory and principles of Rudolf Steiner. Some of the teachers completed their Waldorf education studies in Germany, The Netherlands or England. During the first quarter century of the school’s activity, Waldorf teachers established strong cooperation with Waldorf teacher associations in Austria, Germany and The Netherlands. Many teachers and whole classes visited Waldorf schools in these countries as guests. The Waldorf School in Zagreb is accredited as a private alternative school, funded mostly by parents. The City of Zagreb donated its first building with four classrooms, while foreign donors (Austrian, German and Dutch friends of Waldorf education) helped build four modular wooden classrooms, a handicrafts workshop and a eurhythmy hall. The activities undertaken by the first Waldorf school in Zagreb over the years had a great impact on the development of a setting suitable for starting new alternative schools and introducing educational pluralism in Croatian public schools. What makes this first alternative school particularly important is the fact that future public-school teachers learned about the pedagogy of Rudolf Steiner, which considerably departs from the prevailing pedagogy used in public schools.
