Steiner Waldorf education has the healthy development of the individual child as its central impulse and fundamental to this is the cultivation of human values. The curriculum supports and enhances the healthiest possible development.

​

The curriculum gives equal importance to nurturing the physical, emotional and intellectual aspects of the child, requiring different learning experiences to be brought to students at specific ages and times and in certain ways.

 

Steiner Waldorf education aims to support the development of the whole child

and this principle guides teaching and learning in every class. The study and observation of children is

at the heart of teacher development and is, therefore, at the heart of curriculum development and

delivery.

​

Special Character is not confined to any single aspect of a school’s activity. It is expressed in

educational aims, curriculum content and delivery, teaching methods and organisational structures, as

well as in the social and physical environment of the school. It is essentially an integrated approach

with all aspects interconnected in a mutually supportive way. The education is open to all faiths or

none, free of dogma or sectarianism and includes the celebration of Christian, seasonal and relevant

cultural festivals.
