Becoming a Steiner teacher is an inspiring and fulfilling pathway to your teaching career. A Steiner education fosters the human spirit in children and young adults, allowing them to flourish in a holistic learning environment that is oriented towards moral growth, social consciousness and citizenship.
In primary school, the core approach is through artistic presentation of material by the class teacher which promotes engagement, inspires deep learning and supports developing imaginations.

“It was great to connect with other teachers. Very useful and practical content. The tutors are such incredibly interesting sources of wisdom and insight.”

“My overall experience was amazing. It was deeply fulfilling, nourishing and energising – my heart is so full.”

“The lecturers were warm and provided so much wisdom. They and the content they were delivering was engaging and able to be applied to work and personal life."
