Mission Statement
Our ultimate goal as a school and as a charitable organisation is to make a Steiner education available to all, and to advocate for the value of its educational approach in our community and throughout Ireland.
About This Cause
Our core principle to educate the "head, heart and hands" of every child. We promote and practise technology free classrooms. We are a non-denominational model that fosters creativity, emotional intelligence, and love of learning The Saoirse Waldorf Dublin Steiner School was established in response to a growing demand from parents for a true educational alternative for pre-school and school-age children living in Dublin. The school offers an genuine alternative approach to learning grounded in the educational principles of the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner. The Dublin Steiner School joins an already established community of five other Steiner schools across Ireland in Kilkenny, Kildare, Clare and Galway. The school's focus is on creativity, developing emotional intelligence, and on cultivating a love of learning as an end in itself, rather than as a means to an end. In delivering its core principle of educating the "head, heart and hands" of every child, the school places a strong emphasis on connecting children with the natural world, story and craft. The Dublin Steiner School is situated in the Liberties, and is accessed by both Irish and international parents who are seeking an educational approach that places a strong value on creativity. A core tenant of the Steiner/Waldorf ethos is strong community engagement, which we strive for every day through our involvement with our local community and our through our partnerships with local community organizations. Our Kindergarten programs bring young children into contact with nature within our school’s urban garden, and provides beautiful classrooms offering natural toys where they can explore and play together imaginatively. Our aim is to provide gentle, beautiful child-centered spaces as peaceful sanctuaries in the busy city. In our home-like setting, the rhythm of the day is balanced between lively and quiet activities that reflect the child’s need for active play, meaningful social interaction and quiet attentive focus. Our growing Primary School program provides an educational experience that meets the needs of each student in a developmentally appropriate manner- integrating critical thinking, emotional intelligence and the arts. We believe in creating a nurturing and inspiring environment for our students to discover themselves and their potential. At our school, parents, teachers and students all commit to becoming part of a larger community dedicated to fostering independent thinking, creative learning and adept collaborating.
