Steiner notes: from the Collingwood College website:

“Within the philosophy of Rudolph Steiner Education, the developing child up to the age of 14 (start of adolescence) moves through stages, which reflect the historic development of humankind as a whole. The curriculum strives to immerse the students in the richness and cultural achievements of the past as a preparation for the modern world. All aspects of the curriculum are fully integrated into this sequential system of cultural epochs leading up to where we are now in the 3rd millennium.”

“Learning in a Steiner school is a non-competitive activity. There are no grades given at the elementary level; the teacher writes a detailed evaluation of the child at the end of each school year.”

Reggio Emilia note: from the Collingwood College website:
“Lori Malaguzzi, the leader until his death in 1999, referred to the child as having 100 possibilities, meaning limitless possibilities. He challenged the predominant image of the child as a vessel to be filled or clay to be moulded. He referred to the child as a protagonist, a vessel already filled, an artist of its own formation, a social being with relational ability, thirsty for dialogue, a bridge to new understanding. To educate such a being, then, required emancipation, not containment; creativity, not silence; cooperation, not competition; a mode of researching knowledge, not transmitting knowledge.”

(And in what way is this different to state educated students? PFSE webmaster)

"Ethics and spirituality" is one component of the offerings at Winter's Flat Community Class (primary school) which includes "contemporary ideas of Steiner, Reggio Emilia, community school movements and environmental education".
