As a project of the Kolisko Foundation for Education (KoFE), The Kolisko School provides affordable Steiner Education to Filipino children.
Partnership in the education of the child is at the heart of The Kolisko School. The school's influence is not only in the relationship with the child, but with the family and the greater community. By educating children and families and building communities that will care for others, the environment and the country, The Kolisko School helps achieve social transformation in the country through The Ripple Effect.
The Ripple Effect takes place when the impact of an action to an individual transforms that individual, who in turn creates a greater impact to everything in his environment and subsequently, other lives.
The Kolisko School also puts great value to the Environment and ensures that the child and its partner community share a deep connection to it such that the protection of environment is an outcome of the transformation of individuals, families and the country.
The Kolisko School is a unique Waldorf/Steiner initiative in the Philippines as it was created by a community of parents.
Why Steiner Education?
The Waldorf or Steiner Education of The Kolisko School prepares young people to meet the world with inner confidence, to trust in the value of each human being, and to think and work with initiative in their lives.
Developed by the Austrian scientist and philosopher Rudolf Steiner in 1919, Steiner Education is based on a profound understanding of human development that addresses the education needs of the whole child - the heart, the hands, as well as the head. Students are nurutred across the full range of human capacity - physical, emotional, intellectual, artistic, and spiritual.
By nurturing children lovingly in an age-specific stress-free environment, The Kolisko School enables children to develop a lifelong love of learning, acquire creative independence and balanced maturity in adulthood, and achieve an understanding of what is beautiful in the world in the broadest sense of the word.
Steiner Education in The Kolisko School is being indigenized to enable young Filipinos to appreciate what is beautiful about the country.
