Kind of. In my school we had four week units of a specific topic that we started our day with (one two hour block from 9-11am), the rest of the day the class would split off into their respective subjects. The subjects covered in these units ranged everything, so you'd have a fairly good knowledge base in econ, chem, lit, foreign languages, etc. Also 1/3 of the grade for these units is dependant on making a notebook, which allows you to do all sorts of creative stuff, like drawing, to up your mark. Granted it does turn you into a bit of a jack of all trades, master of none, and when you get something you're really not into it can be super tedious.

Furthermore, you get some real inane shit like eurythmy, and a lot of weird stuff, like a four-week Parsival course that's all about self discovery, but all in all its not too bad. Especially if you're not that academically gifted, you can still excell in the many woodwork, theatre, painting, sculpting, etc, classes; plus there is a lot of upwards mobility for late bloomers. They're also great at weeding out the rotten kids, so the atmosphere is generally peaceful (also very white and unabashedly Christian).

I read somewhere that the people in Silicon Valley tend to put their kinds in W-education since they emphasize non digital approaches to learning. Which, if those people are concerned about that, it might have some validity.

There's also compulsory choir (at least in my school) which sucks ass at first, but in the last few years really brings you and your classmates together as you bellow out Dvorak twice a week. Getting drunk at hs parties and singing classical tunes by the piano together with complete abandon is unironically one of the funnest things I did in my teens.

t. went to Waldorf School from kindergarten through to highschool.
