Our commitment to wholeness and healthy development supports each child to grow into a free individual, able to live with purpose and contribute with confidence.
Rudolf Steiner recognised three stages of child development, each one underpinned by a key ideal.
These three stages are reinforced by a platform of initiatives that further promote wellbeing.
In the early years at Glenaeon, children are supported by a nurturing environment where goodness is experienced, their needs are met, and they feel safe and recognised. Wellbeing is established through the creation of nurturing, consistent, and caring relationships that provide the warmth, healthy nutrition, movement, and sleep necessary for each child’s growth. We create safe, secure, natural, and engaging environments where children can thrive
From ages 7 to 14, children at Glenaeon are surrounded by an environment that fosters an appreciation for beauty. Imagination, creativity and the arts are integrated into the curriculum while children are exposed to stories that offer ethical guidance and encompass the full spectrum of human experience. Engagement with the natural world, and a developmentally appropriate curriculum are integral to holistic wellbeing during this important stage of development.
The adolescent years from 14 to 21 represent a transformative phase in the lives of our students. A sense of self is cultivated along with a yearning for truth and an expanding awareness of the world. During this period, attention is directed towards emerging spiritual development by fostering a sense of purpose, honing critical thinking abilities, cultivating self-awareness and nurturing personal growth.
Glenaeon aims to provide a foundation for, and to actively increase, the wellbeing of our students. If mental health intervention on a more individual level is required, we haven additional staff, systems, and processes in place.
