OUR SCHOOL
Human centred Education
Our curriculum weaves together academic rigor, artistic expression, and hands-on practical learning to educate the whole child—head, heart, and hands. From early childhood through to Year 12, students develop critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and practical life skills.
Community Spirit
We’re not just a school—we’re a community. Families, teachers, and students come together to celebrate seasonal festivals, participate in craft groups, and support one another in our shared mission to help children flourish.
Artistic and Academic Excellence
Through music, visual arts, handcrafts, and theatrical performances, students explore their creativity and individuality. Our academic programs are equally engaging, incorporating storytelling, inquiry-based learning, and experiential projects to spark a love of discovery and knowledge.
NATURE-BASED LEARNING
With nature as our classroom, children discover the wonders of the world around them through outdoor education and environmental stewardship. Activities such as bushwalks, gardening, and sustainability projects deepen their connection to the environment and foster a sense of responsibility for the planet.
2024 Year in Review
Hear from our community
“The care and attention my child receives at Samford Valley Steiner School is unlike anything I’ve seen before. The balance of creativity, academics, and outdoor learning has truly transformed the way my child approaches the world.”
— Parent, Year 6
“They didn’t just teach us but they nurtured our growth as individuals, encouraging curiosity, creativity, and a sense of purpose. Their belief in me helped me find my path and see the world through a more thoughtful and compassionate lens.”
– Jetta, Alumna, Class of 2024
“At university, work, and in my personal life I am excited to learn, to gain experience, to ask the important questions, and to view situations with different perspectives. These, I have found, are invaluable attributes in the ebbs and flows of life after school.“
– Anna, Alumna, Class of 2011
