Since 1957 Glenaeon Rudolf Steiner School has been sending its high school graduates into the world. Many of their children now come to Glenaeon. Just under 90% of graduates go onto some form of tertiary study covering every faculty from Arts to Medicine and follow career/vocational paths of exciting diversity.

A Masters degree research study conducted through Southern Cross University found that although Steiner graduates share concerns and expectations for the future and society as do other young people, they are also able 'to produce comprehensive positive visions of their preferred futures' and overall they seem 'undaunted in their own will to do something to actually create their "preferred futures" . 

Steiner Education recognizes and honors the full range of human potentialities. It addresses the whole child by striving to awaken and ennoble all the latent capacities. The children learn to read, write, and do math; they study history, geography, and the sciences. In addition, all children learn to sing, play a musical instrument, draw, paint, model clay, carve and work with wood, speak clearly and act in a play, think independently, and work harmoniously and
respectfully with others.

Preparation for life includes the development of the well-rounded person. Steiner Education has as its ideal a person who is knowledgeable about the world and human history and culture, who has many varied practical and artistic abilities, who feels a deep reverence for and communion with the natural world, and who can act with initiative and in freedom in the face of economic and political pressures.

In other words, Australia's Steiner graduates have a heightened level of optimism and are confident of their own ability to make positive change for their own good and the good of society: they are educated for Life.

Whilst the Curriculum is not primarily driven by learning outcomes, Glenaeon consistently achieves higher than average UAI results: over the last three years (2005-7) an average of 30% of Year 12 students achieved a UAI over 90.

In 2007 Glenaeon's Year 12 HSC class was ranked 52nd out of over 700 high schools in the state, which put the school academically well within the top 10% of high schools in NSW.
