History

The school was founded on 8 February 1993 as a small community Steiner School for the surrounding regional area. It was originally located in the home of the founders, Stan Stevens and Sally Davison, offering Kindergarten, year 1 and year 2. The school grew and was moved to the current location later that year.[2]

Description

The school is on a 52 acre ground which includes a creek and large farm.[2]

The school occasionally hosts festivals, most notably during the spring equinox. The school's largest annual project and a large source of income is the Wearable Arts Vision in Education.[3]
