Steiner-inspired home education
Form arises out of colour. A lesson arises out of the child.
We prepare the main lesson with you — block plans, stories, verses and handwork, drawn from the public-domain Steiner tradition and our own writing, tuned to your child's age and temperament and to the sky above your home.
Nothing here has finished growing.
The day, the week, the season. Rhythm is the method — the year turns and the lessons turn with it.
The enrolment
Three questions. That is all we ask.
Your child's age
The seven-year rhythms are real. A six-year-old and a twelve-year-old need different stories — and the same child needs new ones each year.
Your place on Earth
Hemisphere, climate, festival life. Advent in Norway is candlelight against the dark; the rice harvest in Bali asks for other songs.
Their temperament — if you wish
Optional, always — a lens for the parent, never a label for the child. The finder below gives you a first impression.
The four temperaments, honestly told
An old fourfold picture of how children meet the world — fire, air, earth and water. Meet them on the board, then find your child's blend beside it.
Most children are a weather system of all four. We treat temperament as seasoning, not destiny.
Not sure which is yours? Few parents are.
Seven small moments, one at a time. There is a “not sure” for every question, and you can skip the whole thing — nothing leaves this page either way.
Age and stage
The right food in the right year
From seven to fourteen the child lives in image and feeling — and the curriculum answers with a road of stories that grows as they do. Walk it: each stone is a year.
Blocks arrive as multi-week arcs, one main lesson at a time.
Place-based
The same week, under two skies
Festivals follow the sun in your sky, not the calendar of the north. Watch the last week of March pass in both:
Trondheim, Norway
63° north — the light is returning
Spring verses, seed trays on the windowsill, first-thaw walks, and stories of waking earth for the main lesson.
Christchurch, Aotearoa
43° south — the light is waning
Michaelmas in its true season: dragon bread, the harvest table, and stories of courage as the days grow short.
Ubud, Bali — 8° south
Near the equator the solstices barely whisper, and no algorithm knows your village's calendar. Tell us the season you are in — planting or harvest, wet or dry — and the week is set to it.
One week, different skies, different bundles — tuned from the very first block.
What arrives
Pages you will want to keep
Each week your bundle is set as printable pages — generous margins, unhurried type, and room left deliberately for the child's own hand.
Main-lesson block plans
A multi-week arc, day by day: the story to tell, the drawing to make, the work to practise, the walk to take.
Story texts
Written to be told aloud first — in language worth hearing twice, matched to the year you are in.
Verses and songs
Morning verses and seasonal songs to open the day and carry the week's rhythm.
Handwork and craft
Wool, beeswax, wood and plant dye — patterns, material lists and the quiet skill of making.
In your own words
What are you looking for?
No menu of options knows your child. These three questions do more than any dropdown — write as much or as little as you like. Every field is optional.
These words stay on this page — there is no server behind it yet. When enrolment opens, this is exactly what we will ask, and the first block will be shaped around what you write.
Your child's data, plainly
We ask for an age, a region, and — only if you offer it — a temperament. We never ask for your child's name, and we would rather not know it. No advertising, no tracking across the web, no selling or sharing of anything, ever. Delete your account and everything goes with it. The record of your child's education belongs in their main-lesson books on your shelf — not on our servers.
