Plein Air Ecoles/ Outdoor Air Schools were built on the concept that fresh air and exposure to the outside contributed to improved health, to provide a space free from pollution and overcrowding founded by Prof. Dr. Bernhard Bendix and Berlin's schools inspector Hermann Neufert it offered "open-air therapy" to urban youths
Anthroposophy’s goal is/ “The elevation of the human faculty of knowledge to Imagination, Inspiration and Intuition”
Rudolf Steiner- Third conference, Dornach, April 15, 1923
There were five defining concepts of Célestin Freinet's pedagogy and these were: 1) pedagogy of work (encourage children to make things and provide services 2) inquiry-based learning (group-based trail and error work) 3) cooperative learning 4) a natural method (learning based on real experiences of children) and 5) democratic self-government.
All Lesson plans @ THEA are developed by an Artist in Practice, Nature School Teacher, Waldorf Trained Educator and Homeschool fluent parent with resilient composition for supporters, youth of all ages and adults .
