About this school
The Straits Waldorf School is a small independent school in eastern Singapore that follows the international Waldorf curriculum developed by Rudolf Steiner. It combines intellectual, artistic and practical learning at every grade, drawing on nature and the arts, and aims to build curiosity, creativity and confidence in a setting where children are listened to without judgement. The school is not tied to any religion, though it marks major festivals to give the year a rhythm.
The curriculum follows Steiner's three stages of child development (willing, feeling and thinking) through the Early Years and Grade School:
- Grade 1, with fairy tales and nature stories supporting early literacy and numeracy
- Grades 2-5, building phonics, writing, grammar, fractions, geometry, local geography and research skills
- Grades 6-8, covering the transition into adolescence
Classes have up to 18 children, and the school day runs from 9am to 2pm. The school occupies two neighbouring units at 76 and 78 Jalan Senang, a walk from Kembangan MRT, with classrooms, a dining area and a general activity space. Children bring their own lunch and snacks.
