Hi everyone

I am considering a Steiner Approach for my daughter and was wondering if anyone had current experience with this? Would love to hear about your experiences, advantages over mainstream education etc.

There is a state primary school not far from us that runs a Steiner stream, however I am concerned about secondary schooling. There is no steiner secondary remotely near by. How well do Steiner primary students transition to mainstream secondary?

We are at a Steiner school and have been since our eldest (who is turning 13 in August this year) was at playgroup. Actually, in the pinned thread at the top of the Education board, there's one there on Steiner and I've posted in there way back when my DD1 was in playgroup lol

I've blogged a few things, if it helps you with your questions:
Why Steiner Schooling
cont... Why Steiner Schooling
Steiner Schooling (cont) and computers
Steiner School (cont...) and transfer to non-Steiner school
that's a few of the posts. I hope they're some help.

Not sure if you've tried a search here on EB? There's been quite a few threads with similar questions. If I have any luck with the search feature I'll add those links.
Cheers
Kristy
