Staff
Our staff enjoy the unique international community and environment of Michael Hall School, that aims to create a culture of mutual respect, tolerance and fraternity. We are committed to continuing professional development of all our staff and to training new teachers.
The Teachers at Michael Hall School are responsible for delivering the Steiner Waldorf curriculum to the students, guiding the children to investigate core subjects such as language, history, maths, science and geography through creativity and imagination. They aim to:
- Clearly communicate with students, colleagues and parents
- Commit to each student individually, throughout their years of school
- Create lively, interactive lesson plans
- Push themselves to grow and constantly question their teaching methods
- Push beyond their comfort zones
- Think outside the box
- Inspire their students to keep progressing
Our Administration team works together to support the teachers, and the maintenance and kitchen staff work to ensure a smooth functioning of daily operations of the School.
Christopher Marcus
Christopher Marcus grew up deeply immersed in the principles of anthroposophy as the son of Waldorf teachers. Educated at Elmfield Waldorf School in Stourbridge, he went on to complete a seven-year training in acting and artistic speech in London and Switzerland. Beginning his career as an actor and later focusing predominantly on directing, Christopher has specialised in the genre of spiritual theatre, with a particular focus on Rudolf Steiner’s tetralogy of Mystery Plays.
Seeking to broaden his understanding of the rich diversity of spiritual traditions, Christopher undertook training as an interfaith minister and went on to serve as a core tutor from 2007 to 2022. He has since returned to directing theatre, with a focus on productions that draw on Steiner’s many insights for actors, as articulated in his 19 lectures on the art of performance.
Christopher has been closely connected with the life and work of Michael Hall School for the past twelve years and is delighted to contribute to its future as a trustee. He lives in Forest Row with his wife and their two sons, both of whom attend Michael Hall.
