About our school
Little Yarra is a co-educational, non-denominational Steiner School providing a complete educational program from Preschool to Year 12. As a school we strive to serve the freedom of the human spirit by providing a balanced and disciplined environment in which a full range of academic and creative subjects blend to nourish the whole child.
We work with the developing child through an educational philosophy based on Rudolf Steiner’s deep insights into human nature, to help the child grow and unfold into a creative and responsible individual. One of Rudolf Steiner’s most powerful and important insights was that the child, growing in strength and ability through the years, passes through separate and distinct stages of development. Out of this insight, a curriculum and teaching method that fits the child’s various stages of development is implemented across our school.
