How does it differ from the curriculum in Waldorf schools?
Differences arise because it is written with the needs of homeschooling families in mind. A key aspect of the Christopherus philosophy is that home is utterly different than school and that it can be both counterproductive and extremely frustrating to try to apply group pedagogy to the home situation. However, Rudolf Steiner’s teachings about child development and the nature of the human being are applicable in any situation and it is on this we base our work. Thus many of our suggestions and teaching recommendations are based on the real-life scenario of you, the parent, sitting across the dining room table from your child – and very possibly other siblings right there or nearby (i.e. nothing like a school classroom!).
