history
The Waldorf School Association was founded in 1953. The school founders included the teacher couple Irene and Wilhelm Wollborn from Essen, the VEW director Willy Müller, the doctor Klaus Dumke, the lawyer Wilhelm Ernst Barkhoff , Heinz Eckhoff, Klaus-J. Fintelmann, Karl-Ernst Neuhöfer, Charlotte Reineck, Gisela Reuther.
In 1958, the Rudolf Steiner School in the Ruhr Area, today's Rudolf Steiner School in Bochum, began operating. With 147 children in grades one to four and two fifth grades, the college initially started work in the so-called "Old Villa". After an architecture competition in 1961, the architect Werner Seyfert, who later became a representative of organic, living architecture, was commissioned to design the entire school building. He developed the design together with the painters and sculptors Wilfried Ogilvie and Gotthilf-Michael Puetz . On December 14, 1963 the foundation stone for the school building was laid. The schoolhouse was inaugurated on June 25 and 26, 1966.
In 1964 a parent advisory group was founded. Grades 8 to 12 carried out the internships developed by Gotthilf-Michael Puetz and others in agriculture, field fairs and in heavy industry for the first time. In 1966, at the end of the 12th grade, the graduation with annual work was celebrated for the first time. The first Abitur preparatory class followed. With the admission of another first class, the two-course family began.
In 1974 the first small class of the Waldorf School for Educational Aid opened at the Rudolf Steiner School in Bochum, in 1975 the sponsorship with the Holywood Steiner School in Northern Ireland , which still exists today, began .
In 1996 the group "Schule 2000" started its work. Two years later, the first classes started with the new concept, known at other Waldorf schools as the “Bochum model”.
In 2000 Christian Kröner and Mirjam Schieren started the music project “Every child has his instrument”.
In 2006, the school issued the Rudolf Steiner School Bochum graduation portfolio for the first time to grade 12 with proof of competence . The project was scientifically evaluated by the Alanushochschule . From 2008 to 2010 the school took part in the Comenius project “Development of a European Portfolio Certificate Project (EPC). At the same time, it was a project school for the NRW portfolio. In 2009, the first graduation portfolio NRW was issued to the graduates of grade 12. The conclusion portfolio is certified by Social Cert.
In 2017 the school applied for the German School Prize of the Robert Bosch Foundation
