Melbourne Rudolf Steiner School

We welcome students of any race, ethnic or religious background. The school has a student population of about 500- a single stream primary and a double stream secondary school in a combined campus. The Melbourne Rudolf Steiner School is separate and independent from other Steiner schools. It is an equal opportunity school and does not reject or dis... place students on the basis of perceived academic potential. At the Melbourne Rudolf Steiner School we foster artistic endeavour and academic excellence whilst honouring the inner life of the child. We recognise that the school journey is as important as the destination. We offer a broad, inclusive curriculum designed to meet the stage of life and particular qualities of the student. Academic subject matter is presented in such a way that it engages and supports the developmental phases of childhood and adolescence to provide sensory, social and intellectual nourishment. Imagination is an integral part of the learning process, and is harnessed in every age group as a tool for learning. Deep respect for self and others are a natural by-product of our inclusive curriculum. Engagement with the natural world is encouraged, as is the acquisition of real life skills - with expert mentors. Our work lies in assisting children to cultivate clarity of thought, breadth and balance of feelings, and conscience and initiative in actions. Emphasis is placed on happy social interactions and strong, dynamic relationships. These all contribute to well rounded human beings who are able to capably solve problems and who exhibit resilience, responsibility, self direction, respect and integrity. School HistoryRead More
