One hundred years ago, in November 1918, the horrific carnage and destruction of the First World War came to an end. A few months later, Rudolf Steiner, a well-known spiritual teacher who had lived in Dornach, Switzerland, during the war, visited Stuttgart, Germany.

One of Steiner's students in Stuttgart, Emil Molt, asked him: "Is there a way to educate children so that they will become human beings who will not make war, who will be able to live in peace?" When Steiner replied in the affirmative, Molt asked another question: "Will you help me create a school that will educate children in this way?" Steiner again answered in the affirmative.
