Discover Nature Based Education Rooted in Steiner Values

Children learn best when the outdoors, creativity and academics are woven together rather than treated as separate parts of the day. Nature based education sits at the heart of the Steiner approach, blending intellectual, creative and practical experience in equal measure so students grow into balanced, independent thinkers. The Armidale Waldorf School builds its teaching philosophy around this idea, using art, music, craft and the natural bush setting of Armidale to nurture curiosity rather than rote learning. 

  • Head, heart and hands approach to every lesson 
  • Progress assessed through observation, not standardised testing 
  • Cooperative games that value teamwork over competition 
  • Learning enriched daily through art, craft and music
