Willunga Waldorf School is a small Kindergarten to Year 12 school located on the outskirts of Willunga, 40km south of Adelaide. The School began as a Kindergarten in a community hall in 1988. It is one of two Waldorf (Steiner) schools in South Australia. It now occupies the site of a former almond orchard, many of whose trees remain, with separate cottage-like classrooms in the primary school and recently opened specialist facilities for Science and Technical Studies in the High School. Playgroups operate five mornings a week, with a playgroup co-ordinator employed by the school. Kindergarten and Reception children are in two mixed-age classes, and from class 1 the classes are single-year-level. As in other Waldorf schools, primary class teachers stay with their class for up to 7 years. The gardens surrounding the classrooms and the Educational Gardens enhance the School environment and offer a wide variety of learning opportunities. The curriculum is comprehensive right to the end of year 12: all students study all subjects - including English, Maths, Sciences, History, Performing and Visual Arts, Music, Spanish, Physical and Outdoor Education, Computing and Design. The year 12 curriculum provides a recognised pathway to University and other tertiary studies.
