Welcome to Silkwood

"To thrive in our dynamic world children need more than just academic ability...they require strength to face life's challenges, knowledge that they can and will succeed, and the capacity to identify the beauty in our world and within themselves. The children of today require an education that cultivates compassionate and inspiring adults with the will to succeed..."

Silkwood Steiner School

Silkwood Steiner Primary School is nestled in the Nerang hinterland behind the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. Waldorf Education also known as Steiner Education offers children an alternative, holistic approach to learning. Taking the knowledge brought down by the turn of century philosopher Rudolf Steiner and an understanding of modern educational research, Silkwood has prepared a developmental, progressive, and contemporary curriculum. Here we meet the child in their world of learning and present them with a rich program nurturing equally their academic seeking, social development and physical bodies.

The Silkwood Environment

Passing over two babbling creeks and walking through rainforest the children enter into the serenity of Silkwood ... here the Preschool, Prep or Primary school child is made to feel at home in a world that is carefully prepared for them. Our teachers bring alive the academic content using the richness and beauty of music, art, drama and dance... the language of the child.

Our Educational Approach

The Silkwood approach to education is imaginative, artistic and holistic; empowering young people to envision positive futures, which they feel confident and proactive towards creating.

Should the Silkwood Steiner School experience be one that you would like for your child please call the school to book your information session.
