A Waldorf-inspired school nestled in nature, where children learn through wonder, imagination, and the joy of discovery — nurturing head, heart, and hands.
About Us
Gatha Waldorf Learning Centre was founded in 2024 in the heart of EvoGreen City, Dehu — a green, sustainable township developed by Orange County Group. We bring the internationally proven Waldorf philosophy to Pune, rooted in the Indian cultural context.
Our curriculum weaves academics with the arts, develops practical skills, and honours each child's individual pace of development — with no standardised tests in the early years and a deep respect for childhood itself.
"Receive the children in reverence, educate them in love, and send them forth in freedom."
Why Waldorf
Waldorf education nurtures intellectual curiosity, artistic expression, and practical skill — preparing children not just for exams, but for life.
Every lesson is crafted to match the natural rhythms of a child's growth — honouring where they are, not rushing where they aren't yet ready to go.
Painting, drawing, music, handwork, and eurythmy are woven through every subject — not as extras, but as essential paths to understanding.
Parents, teachers, and children form a living community of learning — where festivals, seasonal celebrations, and shared stories bind everyone together.
Set within EvoGreen City's green surroundings, Gatha brings children into daily contact with the natural world — gardening, outdoor play, and seasonal living.
Waldorf schools don't rush children with standardised tests in the early years. Instead, teachers observe each child's development carefully — building confidence, imagination, and love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
Our Community
At Gatha Waldorf Learning Centre, the community is not a backdrop — it is the very fabric of education. Parents, teachers, and children form a living whole, bound by seasonal rhythms, shared festivals, and a deep commitment to the full flourishing of every child.
A Waldorf school is a community school in the deepest sense — one where parents are not merely informed but genuinely involved. As Rudolf Steiner envisioned, the healthy social life arises when each individual and the whole community find themselves reflected in one another.
Our teachers are not merely instructors — they are artists of education. Each one undergoes rigorous Waldorf pedagogical training grounded in Rudolf Steiner's understanding of child development across the three seven-year phases of childhood.
Community life at Gatha is punctuated by two landmark events each year — the joyful Gatha Jallosh Mela and the artistic Gatha Abhivyakti year-end presentation. Both weave together students, families, and the wider community into shared experiences of beauty, culture, and creativity.
Signature Events
These gatherings are more than events — they are expressions of who we are as a community.
A vibrant community festival celebrating India's living heritage of craft, storytelling, and the Waldorf philosophy of head, heart, and hands. Families, artisans, and children come together in an immersive day of discovery and joy.
When: Annual — held each school year
"The greatness of a community is measured by the compassionate actions of its members."
The year-end artistic showcase where students present their learning through the ancient Indian science of theatre. Drawing from all four Vedas — music from the Samaveda, movement from the Yajurveda, text from the Rigveda, and rasa from the Atharvaveda — Gatha Abhivyakti is a deeply moving celebration of growth.
When: End of each academic year
Cultivates teamwork, courage, precision & mutual appreciation in every child.
"The healthy social life is found when in the mirror of each human soul the whole community finds its reflection, and in the community the virtue of each one is living."
— Rudolf Steiner
