What is Steiner education?
Steiner education, also known as Waldorf education, is a holistic approach that nurtures the whole child—intellectually, emotionally, and physically. We provide a curriculum that not only meets academic standards but also fosters creativity, resilience, and a deep connection to the world.
Steiner education stands out because it values the development of each child’s unique potential. We focus equally on academic, artistic, social, practical, and cultural development. This approach creates well-rounded humans who are not only knowledgeable but also imaginative and compassionate.
Our curriculum is nationally recognised and accredited, ensuring that students are well-prepared for future academic pursuits while receiving an education that honours their individuality and fosters a lifelong love of learning.
The three stages of learning
As your child grows, they move through different stages of development. Our Steiner curriculum is designed to nurture your child as they go through each stage, enabling your child to grow into a healthy, purposeful and creative adult. It’s what we call human-centred education.
