Samford Valley Steiner School offers an inspiring and comprehensive education for children from Pre-Prep through to Year 12 in high school. Our school is located on 20 acres of leafy, natural bushland, in the semi-rural Samford Valley. This picturesque destination is approximately 24km/35 minutes drive from Brisbane, in South East Queensland, Australia.

Shared by the fastest growing independent school movement in the world, our curriculum is based on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner. The education aims to give each new generation an education entirely free from partisan political, economic, sectarian or racial influences. From the earliest years, throughout the child’s education right up to high school graduation, our curriculum is integrated to fully prepare each child for adulthood. We recognise that each child is unique and through focusing on enhancing each individual child’s attributes and sensitively addressing their challenges we strive to develop unprejudiced, well-informed, confident and creative young people who are valuable and practical contributors to society.

We welcome the involvement of parents in our school community. Click here to find how you can join in. Download more information by clicking on the button on the right, or call the school on 07 3430 9600 if there is information you have not found on our site.

National Steiner Curriculum
Congratulations and a huge thanks to Peter Glasby (SVSS Education Administrator), writer of the Science curriculum of the Australian Steiner Curriculum Framework, recently recognised by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) as an alternate curriculum (together with History, Maths and English), to the National Curriculum being proposed for all government and other schools in Australia. Parents of children in Steiner schools can be confident that their children are being taught according to a rigorous and fully credentialed curriculum, externally evaluated and approved. Other subject areas are currently being written.

Tertiary Pathways
Samford Valley Steiner School has recently become a SAT testing centre. This means that one of the aptitude tests for our Tertiary pathways now has a home base at our school. Not only our students who choose to do the SAT test can do it here but it will be a centre for students from other schools to come and do the test. A great step forward.

Congratulations to Johnny Klee and Alex Harper from Class 11
They have been selected to attend the National Computer Science School (NCSS) in 2012. The National Computer Science School (NCSS) takes place in January over the summer holidays at Sydney University. This is a great achievement from these two very bright young people.

We are now taking enrolments for 2012 for Classes 5-7 in the Primary School and Classes 8 -11 in the High School. Please click here for more information.
