Milkwood Steiner School

About

Milkwood Steiner School is an independant, co-educational primary school offering Steiner/Waldorf Education from preschool to Class 6. Milkwood Steiner school opened in Feb 2004 in the converted Nighttcliff Scout Hall in Nightcliff, Darwin. Due to increased enrolments, we moved to Marrara in 2007 and now to a permanent site in Berrimah. It has arisen out of a vibrant, enthusiastic community of committed families who want Steiner education for their children. The reverence and respect felt by Steiner teachers for the special qualities of each stage of childhood shapes the school environment, the way the children are spoken to, the materials used, the activities undertaken and the approach to learning at each developmental stage. Teachers are dedicated to creating a genuine love of learning within each child. By freely using art, craft, music and language in conjunction with the teaching of academics, learning becomes a living, creative process. The academic subjects are enriched and enlivened in a way the meets the developmental stages of the children, offering both sensory and intellectual nourishment.
