Escuela Internacional Waldorf Valencia Reviews (5)

Our son attended the school for a few months, and initially, we believed that his initial unease stemmed from the typical adjustment period. However, following the summer break, we began to notice concerning incidents that compromised his safety at the school. There seemed to be a tolerance for pushing, bullying, and even the use of objects like sticks to harm others. It was disheartening to hear one of the teachers say that the children should resolve these conflicts on their own without proper guidance. Furthermore, there was an unfortunate normalization of inappropriate behavior among the students, such as exposing and touching each other's private areas. Shockingly, there were instances where some children engaged in the unsanitary act of consuming urine. Amidst these troubling circumstances, our son unfortunately contracted the Herpes virus in a sensitive area, and despite bringing this to the attention of the teachers, there was minimal response. The incidents involving the consumption of urine and our son's contraction of the Herpes virus were deeply unsettling. Adding to our concerns was the behavior of a particular teacher who consistently displayed bullying tendencies, shouting, and excessively punishing our son's friend. Although the school claims to have addressed the issues regarding this teacher's conduct, it was disconcerting to witness the blame being placed on the child who ultimately left the school, rather than holding the responsible teacher accountable. It is important to note that prior to enrolling our child in this school, they had attended a Waldorf kindergarten where we never encountered any of these issues. The quality of education and the dedication of the teachers were exceptional. As a result, we find it difficult to reconcile the current school with the values and standards typically associated with Waldorf or any other esteemed educational institution. The childcare provided at the school also fell far short of our expectations.
