A little about us

  "May my soul bloom in love for all existence"  (Rudolf Steiner)

Nau mai, haere mai ki te kura !

Situated on the West Harbour, on the edge of beautiful bush in the historical city of Dunedin, the Steiner School offers a unique education for children from birth to thirteen years old.

We offer a full Steiner/Waldorf curriculum from playgroup and kindergarten through to the end of intermediate school. The Steiner approach addresses the whole person intellectually, artistically, socially and morally so as to develop each student’s innate self-discipline and strength of body and will.

Our school is the southernmost Steiner school in the world. It is situated on several hectares of land in a semi rural location on the slopes of Te Pahure o te Rangipohika, overlooking Otago harbour, with views out to Taiaroa Head.

Kindergarten is an integral part of the Dunedin Rudolf Steiner School and  provides a solid foundation upon which subsequent academic learning can flourish. Kindergarten  addresses the development of a creative imagination, provides focused activity, and nourishes a sense of wonder and reverence for all life. By around the age of 3 and a half children are ready to join one of the three kindergartens rooms situated on the school campus at Maia.  Each day has its rhythm and the children come to know that each day also has its own activity, rather than all activities being available "on demand".
