Specializations are offered in:
- Biology/Earth Science

For those wishing to rejuvenate their Waldorf teaching or to renew their work with anthroposophy. Courses, each running five days, are offered in late June and early July.

Waldorf Administration and Leadership Development Program
New, low-residency program designed to support independent and public Waldorf school administrators and pedagogical leaders through professional development and training that builds skills, capacities, and understanding of their vital roles in Waldorf schools. The program will include workshops, guided exercises, case studies, mentoring, and presentations in areas such as group dynamics, role clarity, communication, conflict resolution, navigating change efforts, strategic vs tactical decision making, community development, among other topics brought by our stellar guest presenters.
A program designed to introduce the foundations of Waldorf education found in Anthroposophy through study, group discussion and the practice of the arts. The content of these courses will supplement foundational course work in preparation for formal Waldorf teacher training at Antioch, as well as content that may lead to advance standing in the Antioch teacher education program, thus possibly reducing the number of summer semesters required in residency in New Hampshire (from three to two summers).
