Inspiring a 'Love of Learning', the Blue Mountains Steiner School caters for Playgroup, Preschool (3-5 yrs), Pre-Kindergarten (transition to school for 4 turning 5 years) and classes K-6. We are an established (1983), independent, co-educational, non-denominational school in a beautiful bushland setting. We are inclusive of culture, race and spiritual or religious beliefs. Blue Mountains Steiner School is a registered member of Steiner Education Australia (SEA) and the AIS NSW. Steiner inspired education is a fine art concerned with the unfolding of each unique human being. We endeavour to provide a balanced and purposeful educational environment and view all areas of a child's development as integral to a healthy and balanced life: academic, creative and spiritual, physical, technical and cultural, social and moral. As a Steiner school we encourage: the nurturing and preservation of childhood; independent thinking; educational principles that support long-term health and wellbeing; self-expression and embracing differences; intrinsic motivation for life-long learning; social and environmental awareness; commitment to high standards of work; self-reliance, self-respect and respect for others. We provide an education for life by meeting each stage of a child's development with sequential, integrated programs that offer challenges and stimulation through richness of content. We strive for our curriculum to both meet and exceed the NSW BOS syllabus requirements.
