Welcome to our school
Mount Barker Waldorf School proudly offers children the opportunity to learn and grow with a human-centred curriculum designed to build whole-human capacities. We join nearly 3000 schools and early learning centres across 71 countries, in offering children and their families an education that is socially responsible by being responsive to the needs of today’s world.
From the Principal
In a world where people look increasingly inwards, Steiner philosophy is to develop the whole child in a way where they are confident to help contribute to society in a positive way. Our unique nationally accredited curriculum develops critical thinkers, who are ready to take on the challenges of the ever-changing career landscape of the future.
Our school is part of the fastest growing independent schooling movement in the world with parents valuing the wholistic approach to your child’s development instead of a focus on standardised testing. The teachers are committed to knowing your child and developing close relationships through progressing with the class through the years and forming a strong bond with parents and carers with regular communication.
Our community shares many enriching events which become the highlight of many families’ year.
I welcome you to explore what Mount Barker Waldorf School can offer your child and your family.
Roger Moreton
Principal
Students from our school are often recognised by the fact that they are open and polite and can hold a genuine conversation with a range of people. They learn that helping others brings them a deep satisfaction and increased self-worth.
— Roger Moreton, Principal
