The WaldorfOnline Courses
for Class Teachers

The Online Conferences are not merely a substitute for “live” conferences. Rather, they are a re-imagination of what a teachers’ conference can be. They utilize audio files of lectures, slideshows of student work, and training films. Click on the button below for details, contents, and samples of conference lectures and videos.

Free Slideshows of Student Work

One of the most powerful testimonies of the efficacy of Waldorf education is the high quality of the work that students produce. Sadly, very little of this work has been photographed, and even less has found its way online. To mitigate this deficit, Eugene Schwartz has created a set of remarkable slideshows highlighting the work of students in Grades 1-8, with illuminating written commentary.

History Through Drama:
An Online High School Course

Waldorf grade schools serve thousands of children, but only a few hundred students are served by a small number of Waldorf high schools. For the first time, a complete high school main lesson block is available to homeschoolers and non-Waldorf high school students. 20 hours of video main lessons led by Eugene Schwartz and a remarkable interactive timeline provide an experience as rich and illuminating as a "live" high school class.

Free Videos for
Teachers & Parents

These free videos present lectures that Eugene Schwartz has given in Waldorf settings worldwide as well as "short courses" on aspects of Waldorf education. Eugene was the very first Waldorf practitioner to allow his lectures to be filmed, and he courageously pioneered the development of Waldorf materials on YouTube.
The videos cover a wide range of themes and subjects.

December through February
June through September

By popular request, we are offering an online conference that specifically addresses the teaching of Physics and Chemistry in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades of the Waldorf school. Until now, the remarkable Middle School Laboratory Sciences videos of Roberto Trostli and Eugene Schwartz's slideshows of main lesson book pages have only been available as part of the Online Conferences for Grades 6, 7, and 8. At long last they available as this stand-alone course. Ensouling Science also includes lectures on the teaching of the laboratory sciences by Roberto and an insightful presentation by Eugene about how Physics and Chemistry meet the developing pubescent and adolescent student.

Phone Consultations

Eugene Schwartz is also available to advise and mentor by phone. Although this is not meant to be a substitute for on-site, person-to-person consulting, we feel that this service can answer some of the pressing needs of today's teachers and homeschooling parents. It is Eugene's hope to offer his help in an affordable and accessible manner. Click on the button below for details.

Free Articles for
Teachers & Parents

Eugene Schwartz has been published widely in Waldorf journals and his 10 books and many essays have been translated into seven languages. His book, The Waldorf Teacher's Survival Guide, is considered basic reading for Waldorf teachers. Parents will also appreciate their scope, breadth, and depth.

School Visits
and Mentoring

Unaffiliated with any school, training center, or schools’ association, Eugene Schwartz is a uniquely independent voice in the Waldorf school movement. There are few as qualified as Eugene to responsibly predict the consequences of today’s decisions and actions on the destiny of tomorrow’s schools.
