High School
Within the Dunedin Rudolf Steiner School community there has been a group with a long term commitment to creating a high school, to bring Steiner Education to the secondary level in Dunedin. However we recognise that this will not be possible until the Primary School is a viable size with at least one full class at each year level.
There are currently four successful Steiner High Schools in Aotearoa/New Zealand, and we believe there is an authentic need for this approach to secondary education in Dunedin. Our aim is that one day, Dunedin will also have the level of community demand that will not only support a thriving primary school, but will allow us to develop a High School.
We believe that adolescence is a critical time in the development of a human being. We feel that encouraging individual freedom goes hand-in-hand with developing individual responsibility, and we aim to imbue our high school with a strong ethos of community responsibility and caring for the well being of our planet earth. The creation of a Steiner high school will foster appreciation of the dignity and uniqueness of each individual student in a setting that provides young people with the tools they need to create their future.
