From the The Steiner Academy Hereford
Our goal is to provide children with a rich childhood experience that can nurture and develop their innate talents and abilities so they can grow up to be responsible, fearless, and liberated people who can reason clearly, observe perceptually, and act positively for the benefit of all living things. The school, which is located in the stunning countryside of south Herefordshire, offers a calm and creative learning environment where we seek to nurture and develop the intrinsic talents and potential of every child under our care. For children from early childhood through high school graduation, we provide a coed school (3 to 16). The distinctive and tried-and-true Steiner approach, which promotes children's intellectual, physical, emotional, and spiritual development in ways appropriate to their age, is used by teachers to teach traditional subjects to students. This idea is based on the straightforward but important realisation that children learn in various ways depending on their developmental stage. Read more about Steiner education and our curriculum. Our students are well prepared to continue on their chosen route by the time they graduate from high school at the age of 16. Learn more about our scholastic accomplishments, including GCSE results.
