Our Story
Our work lies in assisting children to cultivate clarity of thought, breadth and balance of feelings, and conscience and initiative in actions.
Rudolf Steiner
Melbourne Rudolf Steiner School (MRSS) is an independent, co-educational, non-denominational school catering to students from Kindergarten to Year 12.
Our school offers an inspired, modern education guided by the observations and insights of Austrian-born philosopher, scientist and educator Dr. Rudolf Steiner.
Established in 1972, MRSS was the first Steiner school in Melbourne and began life with a Kindergarten class of 11 children. By 1984 we had grown to a full stream, Kindergarten to Year 12 school and now continue to offer enrolment to around 500 students.
Situated on nine hectares of native bushland, in the Eastern Melbourne suburb of Warranwood, the school encompasses a beautiful, welcoming campus of carefully considered, architecturally designed buildings and gardens that provide sanctuary and inspiration for our staff and students.
Our curriculum provides a balanced scientific-artistic education addressing the intellectual, social and practical capacities of our students.
We offer an integrated Early Years program combining Kindergarten and Prep; a Primary Years program based on an artistic, imaginative exploration of the great world cultures and our own First Nations cultural traditions; and a Secondary Years program that balances our commitment to academic excellence with physical, social, intellectual and artistic development.
We are committed to providing an inclusive and respectful atmosphere, with dedicated teachers and staff committed to developing a cultural centre for students, families and the community.
MRSS acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation as the traditional custodians of the land on which our school stands.
