Welcome to Leaning Tree Steiner School!

At Leaning Tree Steiner School, we believe in nurturing young minds in a warm and inviting environment. Located in the heart of Geraldton, Western Australia, our independent, non-denominational school offers a unique educational experience for children from Kindergarten to Class 9.

Why Choose Us?

• Small Class Sizes: We pride ourselves on keeping our class sizes small, allowing for personalized attention and a close-knit community.
• Steiner Educational Program: Our curriculum is inspired by the philosophy of Rudolf Steiner, focusing on the imagination and the natural development phases of childhood. We aim to foster creativity, practicality, and free thinking in every child.

A Balanced Curriculum

Our approach integrates:
