Neufeld Institute Courses
A developmental approach to understanding children and ourselves.
The Neufeld Institute offers a comprehensive selection of courses rooted in Dr. Gordon Neufeld’s pioneering attachment-based developmental approach. As a nonprofit charitable organization, we attempt to make our courses as accessible as possible while upholding the highest standards of quality and delivery. Every course we offer is grounded in science, shaped by decades of experience, and designed to empower adults to support the healthy development of the children in their care.
Whether a parent, educator, or helping professional, our courses are constructed to deepen understanding of children through the lens of attachment and development. Prior academic experience in the field is not required, just a genuine desire to make sense of kids.
ALL of our COURSES ....
- can be taken online from anywhere at anytime
- feature recorded lecture material by Dr. Neufeld and carefully curated supplementary support to enrich the experience
- come with study aides such as slide handouts for note-taking and study guides
- provide an opportunity to have questions responded to by faculty or facilitators who have mastered this approach
- come with a generous study pass of 12 months so that one can pace oneself without a sense of pressure and have time for review as needed
- come with a certificate of attendance upon completion
- can be taken as a group by special arrangement
All our courses can also be taken by pre-existing groups by special arrangement. These special arrangements can include custom support by our faculty and facilitators. Please use the inquiry feature if wishing to explore this option.
SOME of our courses are also offered as SCHEDULED CLASSES
Some of our online courses are also offered as scheduled classes from time to time at a slightly higher fee, with our Faculty providing special support sessions. Please consult the Scheduled Classes menu for more information about these classes as well as for a schedule of upcoming classes.
Can I move a live Scheduled Class, if I have already taken the course on my own? YES! Our goal is to support your learning in the way that works best for you.
Anyone we have on record as having taken, or in the process of taking, an online course, can re-enroll in the scheduled class of that course for a modest fee of $50 to help with the extra costs involved.
