About Kindlehill Steiner School

Nestled on a hill above Wentworth Falls Lake in the Blue Mountains, Kindlehill Steiner School is a K–10 independent school inspired by the educational philosophy of Rudolf Steiner. Since opening in 2000, we have grown from a founding group of 17 students into a thriving learning community of more than 100 young people.

Our education is creative, rigorous and responsive to the needs of today’s children and adolescents. We aim to nurture young people who are strong, resourceful and resilient — ready to meet an ever-changing world with confidence, compassion and initiative.

Kindlehill students form hearts, embodying a spirit of community, belonging, and deep connection within their natural environment.

Our Story

Kindlehill was founded by a group of committed parents and teachers who shared a vision for an education that honours childhood and supports the unfolding capacities of each student.

Over the years, our campus and programmes have grown alongside our community:

2010–2011: Purchase of our land and development of the Kindergarten Garden and unique Performance Space
2012: Launch of the High School (Years 7–10)
2014: Celebration of our first Year 10 graduates
2015: Completion of our Education Centre including library, music room, shared kitchen and tutorial spaces
2016: Introduction of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Scholarships and After School Care
2018–2019: Expansion of specialist High School facilities including Science Lab, Art Studio and Woodworking spaces
2023: Purchase of adjacent land to support our evolving Master Plan
2024: Launch of Senior School program, Buran Nalgarra

Throughout our growth, we have remained grounded in our founding intention: education in service of the whole child.
