Kildare Steiner Secondary School

“Our highest endeavour must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of truth and a feeling of responsibility. These three forces are the very nerve of education”

– Rudolf Steiner

A core aspect of Steiner Pedagogy is the integration of academic learning with creativity in all its mediums . This pedagogy meets the needs of each individual child academically, socially and emotionally.  It develops creative thinking, self-confidence as well as practical skills for life.

It further supports children to develop healthily and grow into responsible, wise, resilient and rounded adults who respect themselves and the environment within which they live.

The Kildare Steiner Secondary School started in September 2019 and has grown since then. We cater for Classes 7, 8 and 9 which is equivalent to 1st, 2nd and 3rd year in mainstream secondary education.

It is also the intention, in longer term, to work towards offering a creative Transition Year Programme, both for our own students and to others from outside schools.

Like our fellow Steiner Secondary schools, we welcome enrolment from overseas students in the worldwide Steiner Community who may join us for a term or a year of their Secondary Education.
