York Steiner School Upper School Open Evening

Our Upper School puts each student at the heart of their learning journey, where they are supported to recognise and develop their own unique talents and discover their true passions.

We put curiosity and engagement at the heart of our learning. This is why we harness our students’ interests and encourage them to satisfy their own natural thirst for knowledge.

Everything we teach is underpinned by the desire to promote the critical thinking, creative problem-solving and ethical decision-making skills needed in the 21st-century world.

Our rich, relevant and interconnected curriculum provides experiences that promote and sustain both intellectual and emotional wellbeing.

This ‘whole person’ approach allows us to develop motivated, socially responsible and independent thinkers equipped with the skills to excel in every field, from the sciences and humanities to the creative arts and beyond.
