About Steiner Education

Steiner Waldorf Education seeks to guide and support children through the natural phases of development, encouraging them to grow into resourceful, warm-hearted, flexible and practical adults. This education recognises childhood as a journey that needs to leave time for the unfolding of the three soul forces - thinking, feeling and willing - in the maturing child.

There are now 880 Steiner Waldorf schools in 55 countries, plus 1500 Early Years settings and 60 Teacher Trainings worldwide. It is the fastest growing established alternative to main stream education in the world. These schools are co-educational and foster attitudes of tolerance and co-operation between children of all abilities, races and religions.

In our schools we aim to bring joy into the learning process, allowing an artistic element to flow into all lessons, and with a healthy balance of intellectual, artistic and practical work throughout the day.

The International Waldorf curriculum is uniquely designed to meet the developing emotional and intellectual needs children. It works through the values of goodness, beauty and truth, encouraging children to seek these within themselves and in the world around, creates a warm and encouraging environment in which children can grow and learn.
