The WaldorfOnline Courses
for Grades 1 - 8

(Formerly known as
The Online Conferences for Grades 1 - 8

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.

Being and Longing
with Eugene Schwartz
November 16 - 17
This Workshop is Free of Charge

The addition of "B" for Belonging to the DEI acronym points to the pervasive sense of loneliness that lives in the souls of so many children today, regardless of race or gender. In this course, Eugene Schwartz examines the ways in which our efforts to understand reincarnation and karma can help us guide a child to find meaning in today's chaotic world. These lectures were given as a prelude to an Alliance for Public Waldorf Education national conference, but they are of equal value to teachers and parents in private Waldorf schools and to anyone working with and for today's children.

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.

In addition to creating the WaldorfOnline Courses for Grades One through Eight, during the past decade Eugene Schwartz has also created many streaming online courses. With the same breadth and depth that the WaldorfOnline Courses approach the Waldorf curriculum, Eugene's courses explore the challenges, trials, and triumphs that individual teachers and the Waldorf movement face in the twenty-first century.
In the past, each course was available only once a year. By popular demand, we are now making all of the courses accessible in two ways. Each course will be featured once a year at the reduced fee of $100. And each course will be available for streaming all year long on our new Catalyst Courses web page. For those who wish to choose their own dates for course participation, the fee will be $150.
New courses will be offered in the 2024-25 school year. To view all our presentations, visit The Catalyst Courses web site at: iwaldorf.net/catalyst.html
