Little Yarra Steiner School is co-educational and based on Christian spiritual principles as given by the Austrian philosopher and educationalist Dr. Rudolf Steiner. By these principles teachers strive in freedom to create the physical and educational environment that can best help the incarnating child to develop such qualities of will, feeling, and thought as will lead them to fulfill their earthly destiny with dignity and confidence. The location for Little Yarra Steiner School began with a gift: in 1986, while the school’s first Kindergarten and Prep group were getting underway in temporary premises in Wesburn, local farmer, Alan Earle, agreed to have the school built on his property along the Little Yarra River. When Alan’s land proved too flood-prone for major building development, he gave his land to be sold so that a more suitable property could be bought for the school. Alan’s gift enabled the purchase of the current property and the school in 1989 was able to move from a small Public Hall to its new home, a beautiful 60-acre block, also along the Little Yarra River, two kilometers south of the center of Yarra Junction. The beauty, central location, and generous size of the property, which was more than what was needed for the school, gave rise to an initial broader long term vision which included a bio-dynamic farm and other cultural initiatives such as a performing arts center, recording studio, artisans workshops, adult education facilities and similar ventures complementary to the school and forming part of a larger spiritually and culturally inspired center arising over time within a supportive community. Since moving to Little Yarra Road with a handful of children in 1989, the school has grown to over 300 students, ranging from Kindergarten through to class 12. With the inception of the first class 12 in 2004, the school has been able to offer an exciting program that embraces Steiner’s indications within the framework of the VCE, as well as an optional Class 12 project successfully pioneered within the Steiner School movement overseas and in Australia. With the consolidation of the primary and completion of the secondary school, the magnitude of Alan Earle’s generous gift can now be seen and appreciated as it continues to bear fruit.

Founded in 2000 in the center of Vicenza, the Little English School is an international school that welcomes children of nursery, primary, and middle school ages. At each level, the classroom lessons are taught in English by qualified native teachers. Our program includes the integration of the British National Curriculum and the Italian Ministerial Program. Under the guidance of our trained staff who work daily with passion and enthusiasm, we have created an environment where problem-solving in a creative way is encouraged, and the acquisition of tools for critical thinking is stimulated. Our priority is to support children in their emotional, cognitive and social development, and thus our child-teacher ratio is very low. We give each student the attention he or she needs, as an individual, and as part of a group. The school also places a strong emphasis on the development of civic sense and respect for diversity. The Little English aims to provide an environment and opportunities which encourage all students to become receptive, independent, creative and responsible world citizens. We recognize the wide range of aptitudes, interests, and cultural backgrounds of every learner and the impact they will have on each other and the wider community in the future. The Little English School aims to nurture and support the potential of every child to become a knowledgeable, proactive and curious student. We believe our students must be aided in the development of their natural curiosity and supported in the acquisition of the skills that will render them autonomous in the learning process. Our school aims to be a place where children learn to learn, taking joy in doing so. Our students’ constant exposure to languages other than their mother tongue provides them with an open mind towards other cultures and a strong awareness of diversity. There are significant advantages to learning a second language early in life. Very young children learn through play and first-hand experience. Students in our elementary and middle school obtain a strong English proficiency through a differentiated and stimulating program. The Little English School, therefore, offers a unique educational opportunity for both very young and primary/middle school-aged children who attend our facility. Our Goals: To create a secure, happy, and stimulating environment that supports and stimulates the all-around (academic, physical, social, and emotional) development of each child. To value each student, taking into account individual diversity. To ensure that each student knows how to use language effectively, developing a strong English proficiency. To provide a curriculum that covers the subject requirements of the Italian education system. To develop self-esteem and awareness of the needs of others. To encourage qualities such as creativity, curiosity, and imagination, aiding in the development of critical thinking. To promote respect for moral values, highlighting multiculturalism. To create a school community open to dialogue and cooperation. We believe in helping each child develop self-confidence, self-respect, and self-reliance as essential ingredients for learning. As part of an international community, we also believe that students who have a meaningful connection to different cultures and nationalities will actively seek to create a world in which cooperation, tolerance, and kindness will prevail. The Little English School offers a structure where students feel safe and confident to explore and engage in different experiences. This encourages a strong sense of community between staff, pupils, and families. The classrooms are organized so that our students sit and work in small groups. All furniture is child-sized and appropriate for each age group. Students’ work and other educational materials are displayed in the classroom to make the environment lively, colorful, and inspiring.
