About

Upper school pupils at Perceval School work towards the French baccalaureat L, S and ES. The school is partially financed by the state and the local council (Mairie). The school follows the Steiner-Waldorf educational system and is part of the Fédération des Ecoles Steiner en France. The Steiner-Waldorf School Movement unites about 2,300 pupils in 21 schools and jardins d’enfants in France.

Steiner-Waldorf education recognises the whole child, the intellect, the emotions and the physical, which is sometimes expressed as head, heart and hands. Steiner–Waldorf education has 5 main objectives:

– Awaken and develop the creative abilities of each child.
– Encourage children to be independent at each stage of their development.
– Encourage children to develop as full members of society, confident and happy in their surroundings.
– Stimulate in pupils a desire to learn, based on lively teaching and artistic presentation of material.
– Offer pupils a wide range of activities, allowing children to develop their own talents, according to the individual nature of each child.
