Teachers 

The heart of our educational philosophy is embodied by our dedicated team of teachers. Our Steiner and IB educators bring a wealth of knowledge, experience and passion to their roles, ensuring that each student receives a rich and nurturing educational experience. Our teachers are more than just educators; they are mentors – guides who inspire and play a pivotal role in shaping the intellectual, emotional and creative development of our students.

"Our teachers' dedication and expertise are central to the unique educational journey we offer at our school. They are not just imparting knowledge but also nurturing a love of learning, encouraging each student to explore, discover and grow in a supportive and enriching environment."

Beyond the classroom, our teachers are deeply involved in the school community. They participate in school festivals, extracurricular activities, and parent-teacher events, fostering a strong and vibrant school community.

Professional Development

All teachers at our school are committed to ongoing professional development. This ensures they stay abreast of the latest educational research and practices, continually enhancing their teaching methods and deepening their understanding of both Steiner and IB education systems.
