The Edinburgh steiner school provides creativity for younger ages, and has a 'unique' way of teaching, however as a former student this only seems fit for the lower school. As you reach the upper school (15-18) the teachers are less prepared to deal with very real subjects such as discrimination, and have a very poor way of dealing with difficult topics. The school struggles to deal with slightly less able students and those with setbacks, they also do not know how to react when slurs are thrown across a classroom. Instead of a firm talking to, a student with be made to write an 'apology letter' and see that as fit. In my experience, when a student comes forward about being uncomfortable around a certain student/teacher, they are not listened to. Instead they are put into a group discussion that lasts around an hour before coming to the conclusion that 'everything is fine' when that is clearly not the case, leaving said student uncomfortable for the rest of their school career. In conclusion, this schooling system is more catered towards younger students, and will panic when real world issues are brought up in later years. Overall a a very uncomfortable experience.

My children go here and are really happy in both Kindergarten and Lower School. Both have fantastic teachers and have benefitted socially and with their confidence from delaying formal learning. In Lower School the class is really a happy and calm space and they have time to develop real curiousity and really take in what they are learning. There is no pressure and the teacher has close awareness of each child's needs.

Both of my children have benefited from the Enburgh Steiner School, and have attended Toddler Group, Kindergarten, Lower School, and the eldest now in Upper School. So far we have seen As in every exam taken, and they have matured into very creative, knowledeable, sociable, and confident beings. A gorgeous building within beautiful grounds in a wonderful area with lovely teachers. I am so pleased that we moved to Edinburgh from England for this amazing school!

The care for the children and attention to detail that the staff give is outstanding. I wish there were more schools like this one. The children are happy probably because they are allowed to be the individuals that they are. I love the fact school starting age is 6 or 7 in steiner schools. Research shows that this is better for the children's self esteem and also for academic achievement as children learn most from playing before the age of 7. I have met many wonderful people through the school. It is a lovely community of families.
