About
About Us
Our story
West Coast Steiner School was officially established in 1995 by a group of parents with a shared belief in the Steiner philosophy, who were passionate about their children experiencing a truly holistic education. The school has flourished over the past twenty eight years and is now an independent, co-educational, non-denominational school offering a complete and authentic Steiner education. West Coast Steiner School is a fully accredited and registered educational institution and is a proud member of Steiner Education Australia (SEA) and the Association of Independent Schools of Western Australia (AISWA).
Our values
The values that guide and define us at West Coast Steiner School are Goodness, Beauty and Truth. We see these values reflected in our commitment to...
A life of learning
Our philosophy is all about helping our students to develop a lifelong love of learning. This life of learning will assist our students in becoming creative, free thinkers who are socially responsible and purposeful.
We believe that it is imperative that education directly touches the hearts of children, to help them develop love for those around them, to reassure them that there is beauty and goodness in the world, and that they play a role in preserving that beauty and goodness.
Through our holistic and balanced approach, we foster an environment of beauty, creativity, and possibility that helps children become the best they can be.
The strength of our community
Guided by goodness, beauty, and truth, and weaved throughout and around every aspect of our school is a passionate, conscious, and committed community, and we know that we are stronger together.
Connected by stories
In life, everyone and everything has a story, and as a school, we strongly believe in the power of storytelling. Stories are at the heart of our curriculum, and we are passionate about creating a space where stories are shared, enjoyed, and learned from.
Our vision
Working from the indications of Rudolf Steiner, we strive to educate the whole being of each child in head, heart, and hands. We envision this holistic education set within a community guided by goodness, beauty, and truth. Further, we seek to plant the seeds for our students to enter the changing world with purpose, as self-directed adults, with a lifelong love of learning, who are intellectually and spiritually free, socially responsible, and emotionally balanced.
