Max Stibbe Waldorf School, Pretoria

We are situated on a beautiful, organic farm, in the tranquil Mooiplaats area, about 20 minutes east of central Pretoria. In this stress-free setting, children are protected from many of the dangers that beset them in urban schools, and are encouraged to interact with nature.

We believe that children should be children, for as long as possible. Unlike most private schools, we believe that education is a journey, not a race. We foster cooperation, rather than competition, between learners.

The School is small and intimate, independent, international, multi-cultural, co-educational and non-denominational.

The unique Waldorf method emphasizes holistic education practices, with the aim of educating the whole child, “head, heart and hands”.

We have successfully applied the Waldorf approach to the South African context, in a manner that addresses the issues of identity and multi-culturalism. Our educational principles resonate with the African notions of self-respect and dignity, combined with a comprehensive curriculum that is based on the worth of the whole individual.
