Bangalore Steiner School
About Us
Welcome to Bangalore Steiner School for our thirteenth academic year.
A Steiner school differs from other schools in a multitude of ways, and parental involvement is fundamental to achieving the school’s vision of holistic education for the child.
Journey until here
This much-awaited school came to be with the collective efforts of an enthusiastic and committed school community and blessings of the spiritual world in Term 3 in January 2011 to start Class 1 and 3 at Sristi farm. We completed our first full academic year from June 2011 to March 2012 with 25 students in Classes 1 to 5.
We have now moved to a lovely 5 acre campus on Kanakapura road. We began the current academic year of 2023-2024 with 200+ children. A colleagueship of 30+ adults, full-time and part-time, serves this group of children. Our school is recognized by the Government of Karnataka for the Pre-Primary and Primary level. We are also recognized by Cambridge International Education.

OUR TEACHERS
Teaching in a Steiner-Waldorf school is a calling and not just a job. Our teachers come from all walks of life, age groups and backgrounds and may or may not have prior teaching experience, but surely have some important traits – a love for children, a passion for teaching as a calling and a very creative and enthusiastic bent of mind in addition to a deep, spiritual quest. Training in Waldorf methodology is provided through in-house mentorship and also through external mentors, training sessions & workshops.
Teachers at Bangalore Steiner School have shared values of aspiring towards building an equitable and non-hierarchical manner of working, emphasis on professional development, being nurtured by nature in their everyday life and growing a community with a common objective.
