Glenaeon students outdoor learning

I am delighted to welcome you to Glenaeon, Australia’s first Steiner school and a community like no other.

For almost 70 years, Glenaeon has offered an education that nurtures the whole person - head, heart, and hands - within a setting of natural beauty and strong community.

Our approach is simple yet profound: we provide a rich, holistic education that is academically challenging, creative, and connected to life.

Guided by our values of courage, wisdom, integrity, and heart, we aim to help young people grow into confident, capable individuals who care for the world and live with purpose.

I invite you to explore our website to learn more about what makes Glenaeon unique. When you’re ready, come and visit us. We’d love to show you our school in person.
