Freie Waldorfschule Hannover-Maschsee, Waldorfschule unter der Adresse Rudolf-von-Bennigsen-Ufer 70 am Maschsee
The Freie Waldorfschule Hannover-Maschsee is a Rudolf Steiner school in Hanover, Germany, based on holistic learning methods. The buildings feature a simple, clear design with well-organized spaces for different activities including workshop areas, a library, and a school kitchen.
The school was founded on Rudolf Steiner's ideas about education that develops the whole person. It marks its centennial in 2026 with special events in June, welcoming back former students and community members.
The school is named after Austrian educator Rudolf Steiner, whose philosophy shapes the Waldorf approach to learning and development. Visitors notice a strong sense of community here, where parents, teachers, and students work together on projects and attend shared events like concerts and theater performances.
Access to the school begins with family registration and information visits to learn about the teaching approach and school community. The grounds feature green outdoor areas where students and families can enjoy shared activities like climbing days and seasonal celebrations.
The school does not use traditional report cards but instead provides detailed written reports about each student's progress and development. This approach allows learners to focus more on understanding and intrinsic motivation rather than on numerical grades.
