The Armidale Waldorf School

The Armidale Waldorf School provides a comprehensive education for preschool through to secondary years that works clearly out of anthroposophy, providing children with a foundation for life and inspiring them toward fulfilment of their destiny. It is a school where students are educated to take their place in the world in a meaningful way for humanity, secure in their earthly existence, their souls nourished and their creative spirits liberated.

This living approach to education permeates every aspect of school life, with students, teachers, parents and friends all being recognised and valued as the unique spiritual beings that they are. All that is happening in the whole school community nourishes and supports this vision. The School has clear structures and processes to facilitate trust, objectivity and communication.

The Armidale Waldorf School follows the Australian Steiner Curriculum Framework, which is recognised as an alternative curriculum by the Australian Curriculum Assessment Reporting Authority. We strive to create a place of beauty to nurture the children, with our buildings designed from Steiner’s architectural indications surrounded by acres of native gardens. A healthy indoor environment free from pollutants for the children and adults alike is a priority. We use quality art and craft supplies in lessons. Our furnishings are naturally beautiful, simple and practical.
