The authors examine the financial and organizational thinking in North American Waldorf schools. From architectural pillars and plant metamorphosis to center and periphery, images address the growth and development of a Waldorf school, including the practical matters of enrollment, planned giving, and budget preparation, offering insights into important and essential questions.
The authors also discuss leadership, philanthropy, and the spirit of determined cooperation in Waldorf school communities.
This is a living imagination of healthy schools, with practical, down-to-earth advice.
