Primary Section
Abiding Heart's Curriculum for Primary is based on meeting the child's spiritual, physical, socio-emotional, linguistic and cognitive developmental needs in each grade or year group. We follow closely developmental science and neuroscience's understanding of child development and Dr Steiner's holistic indications of the child's changing consciousness. We applied this knowledge in great depth when designing our curriculum content and delivery.
