Yes. If your curriculum page describes the eight-year class-teacher commitment, the bot reads and explains it. This is one of the most distinctive features of Waldorf and one of the questions parents ask first when they're new to the method. The bot can answer at the policy level (years 1-8, transition to high school faculty in 9) and routes any specific class-teacher-assignment question to the faculty chair, since that's a relational decision.

Yes. The system prompt sets the tone, and Waldorf schools typically configure the bot to acknowledge the school's media policy honestly when asked. The bot doesn't perform tech enthusiasm or pretend the community is screen-neutral. For schools that explicitly publish a 'no recreational screens through grade 5' policy, the bot quotes it and explains the developmental rationale from the published page.

Yes. Main lessons run as 3-4 week blocks on a single subject, often 90 minutes each morning. The bot reads your published curriculum overview, which usually describes the rhythm grade by grade: stories and alphabet in 1, fairy tales in 1, Norse myths in 4, ancient civilisations in 5, Roman history in 6, medieval in 7, modern in 8. The bot answers grade-specific main-lesson questions accurately because the structure is published.

By reading the curriculum page and quoting it in the school's own framing. Eurythmy, handwork, woodwork, gardening, and form drawing are all standard Waldorf subjects, and most schools publish a page explaining each. The bot answers from those pages rather than trying to define the subjects from training data, which would produce something close to right but not aligned with how the school frames its own programme.

Yes. Most Waldorf schools run class observations as parent-only sessions, often 30-45 minutes in the back of a main-lesson period. The bot sets that expectation before confirmation: silent observation, no children present, discussion with the class teacher or admissions afterwards. For schools that also run festival visits as a more family-friendly option, the bot offers both formats with the right note for each.

Yes. Anthroposophy, the philosophical foundation of Waldorf, is an area where many schools prefer a faculty voice over a chatbot voice. The system prompt can be configured to route anthroposophy-specific questions to the faculty chair or a designated parent-education contact, since those conversations have nuance that benefits from a human relationship. The bot collects parent contact and the topic only.

Yes. The system prompt forbids collection of child names, birthdays, and sensitive information. Parent contact is collected only for an observation or tour booking, and only when the parent volunteers it. Conversation logs live in your WordPress database with the security you've configured. Bring-your-own-key sends prompts directly to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or OpenRouter, which keeps the data path consistent with the school's preference for restraint.

Yes. The high-school programme has its own curriculum structure (block-by-block main lessons through grade 12, projects, internships, capstone) and most Waldorf high schools publish that structure separately. The bot can run as a separate Multibot instance scoped to the high-school section, with its own system prompt and presets, so the messaging tone shifts appropriately from elementary to high school without confusing one programme's vocabulary with the other's.
