Human Development
In the words of Hermann Hesse, the human being “is not a determinate, finite entity, not a being completed once and for all, but a coming-into-being, a project, a dream of the future, a yearning of nature for new forms and possibilities.”
Of no period in human development is this more apt a description than of adolescence, that fluid time between childhood and full adulthood. By studying the ebb and flow of inner and outer influences upon the toddler, the child, and the teenager, students will come to understand how human beings develop and how — through the developmental structure of the Waldorf elementary and high school curriculum — they can be helped in their unfolding from earliest years through childhood to adult life.
