Tallowood Steiner School is set on 1 acre in the picturesque Nambucca Valley in NSW. First established as a parent run Independent School in the early 1980’s, Tallowood officially took on a new direction and became a Steiner school in July 2010. Tallowood’s educational situation is unique and the application of the Steiner curriculum which is being developed at Tallowood is responsive to the context of a small country school with mixed aged classes. |

Our curriculum includes a balance of academic, practical and artistic experiences.
Our two fulltime teachers each have more than 25 years experience as Steiner Teachers. Tallowood Steiner School offers a human centred approach to teaching and learning as we enthusiastically adapt the Steiner curriculum and philosophy to our singularly unique educational situation.
With a dynamic parent community supporting the development of the school, Tallowood is able to be inclusive of all families with school fees which are affordable to all income brackets. |

Our practice of theme block lessons unifies and integrates all curriculum areas and all teaching and learning activities. Lesson content is developed from each core subject and subjects are taught in 3 week blocks. Each day’s lessons begin with the Morning Circle time where the children are actively engaged in poetry, recitation, dynamic movement, verse, song and numeracy activities, all of which relate to each term’s subject matter.
Throughout the year, all Key Learning Areas are covered in line with the NSW Board of Studies requirements.
Art is embedded as practise in all subjects and this enables children to be continually engaged and active as creators. |
