the aim of the steiner schools is to educate the whole child heart hands and head.it has a broad curriculum to develop artistic and practical skills as welll as academic,they aim to develop an internal motivation to learn for each child.
there is a website and info if you google steiner.There are several in ireland which are highly thought of
I agree with this education, as it's an all-round one, as pink says, helping children to develop mentally, physically and spiritually. I'm sure there are sites where you can read up about it, but you usually have to pay fees for this kind of schooling.
