They say it takes a village to raise a child. When you join Cairns Hinterland Steiner School, you join a close knit community of students, teachers, support staff, parents and friends. We are an independent school in a beautiful rainforest setting. True to the Steiner principles and teaching, we focus on developing the whole child - ‘head, heart and hands’. 

The Steiner education is an artistic education that awakens and fosters the imagination; this is the heart of the Steiner curriculum and approach learning. Artistry is not just as an extra-curricular activity, but embedded strongly in the core of our teaching and learning. 

Families join us for a number of reasons, including:

• A strong bond between teacher and student
• Beautiful indoor and outdoor learning spaces
• Small class sizes and excellent support services
• All classwork and quality materials provided
