Mission Statement

The Trustees, Administrators, and Faculty of the Arcturus Rudolf Steiner Education Program are dedicated to creating an unique learning experience for persons eager to engage the concepts of Rudolf Steiner's Worldview; to practice the artistic dimensions arising from it, and to anticipate in a bold way the various applications of it to education, artistic endeavors, agriculture, medicine, or to wherever a person's path might lead.

In this light, we see our primary purpose as the preparation of AWSNA Certified Teachers for the Waldorf Education Movement in the Chicago area.

 To this end, Arcturus engages a process of educating  the universally human in all of its participants.  A fundamental premise for honoring the whole human being is the recognition that we must address conscious development in body, soul and spirit. The aim of the Arcturus Program is to actively recognize and foster a dynamic of transformative learning  taking place in the students through their encounter with the world conception of Rudolf Steiner, with the full range of the Arts, with the faculty, and with each other.
