The Waldorf School on the Roaring Fork doesn’t prepare students for the ‘real’ world?

“At the Waldorf School, I spent time seeking new ideas through academic adventure and creativity, instead of absorbing facts that are already known. I learned to love my education. I learned to love not the reward for performance — my grade — but the discovery and learning of new things. I learned how to be a part of the world as a whole instead of succeeding in just one specific niche. I learned not what to think, but how to think. I learned to pursue why something happens instead of being told what happens. ”
