It is a place where three qualities live that are not readily found or acknowledged within our society:

• a reverence for all that humanity has been through and experienced until now, together with a reverence for the being of the child;
• a love and enthusiasm for the potential within the being of each child;
• the belief that we are capable of achieving a renewed understanding of ourselves and the child, and that it is through this understanding that we can best help the child to unfold and develop their capacities in a balanced and harmonious way.

The Castlemaine Steiner School is a member of the Australian Association of Rudolf Steiner Schools and has regular contact with other Victorian and Australian Steiner Schools.

Steiner schools are non-denominational. The philosophical and spiritual basis that underpins this education is not taught to the children - rather it forms the source for the teacher's understanding of human development, of what is taught and how it is presented.
