Glenaeon Rudolf Steiner School is an independent, co-educational day school co- located across multiple campuses in Middle Cove, Castlecrag and Willoughby in Sydney, New South Wales in the Steiner tradition. It was the first Steiner school established in Australia. The school is spread over three campuses with the preschool in Willoughby, a junior campus (K-2) at Castlecrag and years 3-12 at the main campus in Middle Cove.
Glenaeon’s curriculum and pedagogy follows the NSW Education Standards Authority requirements,combined with the educational insights of Austrian-born philosopher, scientist, artist and educator Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925). There are now more than 1000 Steiner schools in 61 different countries worldwide and over 40 Steiner schools in Australia.
Kamaroi Rudolf Steiner School (K-6), is located in Belrose and serves as a feeder school for both Glenaeon and Lorien Novalis School in Dural.
Glenaeon's motto is "Unfolding Individual Journeys". It was previously "Education for Life".
Glenaeon was originally established in Pymble in 1957, by Sylvia Brose OAM, out of the community surrounding Walter and Marion Burley Griffin and their belief that the values of design, the arts, community, nature and spirit needed to underpin a rich academic education.
In 1970 the school was fully established in Middle Cove, located on four and a half acres of bushland. During the 1990s, Glenaeon expanded to the Castlecrag campus, where it now caters for Kindergarten and classes 1 and 2.
The School currently has two halls, the Sylvia Brose Hall at Middle Cove and the Marion Mahony Griffin Hall at Castlecrag. The Middle Cove campus also includes two playing fields, two multipurpose basketball courts, specialist Design & Technology and Art facilities, a biodynamic garden and music rooms. The high school building features several classrooms including a recently renovated library.
