Aurora Southern Highlands Steiner School is grounded in the educational philosophy of Rudolf Steiner, which seeks to educate the whole child – head, heart, and hands. Our teaching approach honours the developmental stages of childhood and integrates intellectual learning with artistic, practical, and social experiences.
Aurora is a proud member of Steiner Education Australia (SEA), the national body representing Steiner schools across Australia. Membership with SEA reflects our commitment to upholding the principles, integrity, and quality standards of Steiner education, while also meeting all relevant regulatory and educational requirements.
As an independent school community, we thoughtfully adapt Steiner principles to our local context, responding to the needs of our students, families, and the Southern Highlands environment. In doing so, we remain grounded in Steiner philosophy while offering a contemporary, inclusive education for today’s world.
Global Steiner Education Movement
Steiner education is part of a global community of schools that share a common approach to learning and child development. For over 100 years, Steiner schools around the world have been supporting children to grow into confident, capable, and compassionate young people.
Today, Steiner schools can be found in more than 60 countries, each shaped by its local culture and community while guided by shared educational principles. This means families benefit from a well-established, trusted educational approach that is both time-tested and continually evolving.
Aurora Southern Highlands School is connected to this international Steiner education movement. Through these global relationships, we stay informed, supported, and inspired, while remaining deeply grounded in the needs of our own children, families, and local environment.
