Orana Steiner School, founded in 1981, is a private, educational Steiner school in Weston, Australian Capital Territory, Australia. It enrolls children from preschool through to year 12.
The teaching curriculum is based on the works of Rudolf Steiner. The school offers a wide range of subjects including mathematics, sciences, humanities, languages, arts, design-technology and English. In primary school, the education is delivered by the class teachers through main lessons and classes with lots of practical activities to aid in understanding. As they get older, students discover more subjects and new specialist teachers. They have the opportunity to try out different at art and design subjects before getting to choose them as electives in later high school. This gives a well-rounded understanding of different subjects and promotes informed and experienced decision making.
