What is a Waldorf School?

I mention in the right-hand margin that I would like to maybe make the school a Waldorf school. Waldorf refers to a method of teaching children modeled on the ideas of an Austrian named Rudolf Steiner. It is similar to Montessori in its emphasis on each child as an individual, and also in the way classrooms are set up, with a lot of wood and natural materials and soft colors.
