world is such and exciting and amazing place that knowledge fosters its own exciting imagination, wonder, and creativity. This is why all academic subjects are taught and integrated throughout the curriculum. Waldorf schools on the other hand, believe that focusing children's learning on intellectual endeavors too soon distracts from their physical, spiritual and emotional development, so reading, writing, and math are not taught at all during preschool. Instead, emphasis is placed on fantasy, imagination, storytelling, rhyming, and movement games. Waldorf schools ask that children not be exposed to media influences such as television and recorded music, as they believe these to be harmful in their more formative years. An imaginative approach is encouraged throughout the elementary years; with new material being introduced through stories and images, and academic instruction is integrated with the visual and plastic arts (modeling beeswax, paint...), music and movement. Science, social studies, and history are explored, though they are not taught with actual facts and information, as this is seen as too rigid and confining.

Educational tasks are geared toward their "feeling intelligence" and fulfillment of their needs for a sense of accomplishment and positive self-esteem. guided but independent search for truth in themselves and the world around them. Concepts and knowledge that they have acquired sensorially during their early years through exploration is now solidified with facts and figures and abstract concepts are introduced. While the elementary education focused on the child's experience with the teacher as the authority, pupils are now encouraged to begin a more independent development of "vital and creative" thinking while studying more abstract concepts in organized classes. The polarity of these two philosophies continues into adolescence. Montessorians believe that older children, although displaying greater abstract abilities, are now entering a stage in development where they no longer are trying to understand the world around them, but are trying to understand their place in the world. Montessorians believe that since the child had an extremely strong foundation in all academic areas in the lower grades, it is now time for them to use this knowledge to better understand themselves and what they want for their future. Montessori high schools spend a lot of time on practical applications of knowledge (running a business, doing internships and work study programs). In Waldorf education it is just the opposite. In high school Waldorf students begin a
