WHAT IS THE ALPINE SCHOOL?
The Alpine School is a co-educational, non-denominational, Steiner-inspired primary school that opened in Cooma in 2019.
What do we mean by Steiner-inspired?
Following the core principles of the Steiner Waldorf education system, we offer a modern, holistic education which strives to ensure children fully realise their potential and possess the creativity and skills required to thrive in our constantly changing world.
We achieve this by offering a curriculum which focuses on creative and hands-on modes of learning, taking into account the interests and learning styles of our students.
Students emerge with a balanced development of intellectual, cognitive, creative and imaginative capacities, practical life skills, a strong sense of self and a life-long love of learning.
“The aim of Waldorf education is to arrange all of the teaching so that within the shortest possible time the maximum amount of material can be presented to students by the simplest possible means.”
OUr Other Inspiration
Our approach to education has been strongly inspired by internationally acclaimed educational expert Sir Ken Robinson. This video is a fascinating snapshot of his views on the future of education.
“Education doesn’t need to be reformed - it needs to be transformed.”
