Religion
Our school welcomes students of any race, religion or ethnic background and is non-denominational. All pupils and belief systems are treated with respect. Through the study of various religious traditions and cultures, it is our intent to imbue students with reverence and wonder for life and nature In our classrooms we explore the community of the world through various cultures and ideologies. The abiding concerns of the great religious traditions – the power of love, the need for compassion, the search for a better way of living and being, the value of community, the cultivation of grace and the knowledge of our unity in creation– these are the concerns of our curriculum and the ethos from which they are taught. They are embedded in every detail. They are not addressed as a separate subject. We cultivate devotion to truth and beauty in all our subjects and we do not conduct Religious Education classes. Our diverse community has a common interest in the insights of Rudolf Steiner, which are but a thread in the rich and expansive tapestry of many great religious traditions. The school does not proselytise for Christianity or for Anthroposophy, nor for any other religious tradition.
