Glenaeon Rudolf Steiner Preschool 118 Sydney Street, Willoughby, New South Wales 2068

Welcome to Glenaeon Rudolf Steiner Preschool, located at 118 Sydney Street, Willoughby, Australia. As an independent, co-educational school, we have been providing a comprehensive education for children from Preschool through to Year 12 for over 60 years. Our goal is to help young men and women find meaning and direction in their lives, equipping them with the skills and values they need to lead a life of character and contribution.

At Glenaeon, we believe in offering an education that goes beyond academics. Our holistic approach focuses on nurturing the academic, aesthetic, artisan, altruistic, and active wilderness aspects of a child's development. By providing an academically challenging, culturally enriching, warm, and humane environment, we aim to produce individuals who think creatively, act ethically, and can express themselves culturally. We believe that living a meaningful life, one that involves a sense of belonging, purpose, context, and transcendence, is more rewarding than simply pursuing happiness.

Our curriculum is inspired by the insights of Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian-born philosopher, scientist, artist, and educator. We embrace Steiner (Waldorf) Education, which provides a unique teaching and learning framework. Creativity is not just an add-on at Glenaeon; it is embedded in all aspects of formal learning. We focus on experiencing the human journey through the great civilizations of the past, allowing our students to develop a deep understanding of history and culture.

At Glenaeon, we have an established culture of contributing, belonging, and connecting. We encourage our students to actively participate in their community and make a positive impact. By fostering a sense of belonging and connection, we create a supportive and nurturing environment for our students to thrive.

As we acknowledge the traditional owners of the land, the Cammeraygal people of the Gu-Ring-Gai Nation, we pay respect to their wisdom and traditions. Our school stands on their ancestral lands, and we honor the ancient spirituality of their ancestors. We also pay our respects to the elders past, present, and emerging, recognizing the importance of their culture and customs in nurturing the land.

We invite you to explore our Prospectus and Annual Report, which provide more detailed information about our school and its offerings. You can find all our documents in the downloads section of our website. Consider a Glenaeon education for your child, where they will receive a well-rounded education and be prepared to lead a life of meaning and purpose.
