Lorien Novalis School 460a Old Northern Road, Dural, New South Wales 2158
About the Business
Welcome to Lorien Novalis School, a renowned establishment located at 460a Old Northern Road in Dural, Australia. As a point of interest and a school, we pride ourselves on offering a holistic approach to education that prepares children for higher education and the challenges they will face throughout their lives.
At Lorien Novalis School, we follow the Steiner approach to education, which emphasizes the development of the whole child – mind, body, and spirit. Our curriculum is designed to nurture creativity, critical thinking, and a love for learning. We believe in providing a well-rounded education that not only focuses on academics but also fosters the growth of emotional intelligence, social skills, and artistic expression.
We are currently accepting applications for Kindy Prep to Year 12, and our enrollment process is simple and straightforward. If you are interested in joining our community, you can easily submit an application through our website. Additionally, we offer various events and workshops for both prospective and current students. You can register for these events on our website as well.
One of our upcoming workshops is a beginners workshop on Saturday, September 2nd, where you can learn to craft your very own soft Waldorf doll. This workshop is a wonderful opportunity to explore the artistic side of our curriculum and experience the joy of creating something with your own hands.
Graduates of Waldorf schools, such as ours, have been found to excel in higher education and beyond. They value the opportunity to think independently, practice life-long learning, and exhibit a strong sense of self-confidence and articulation. Research has shown that students from alternative schools, like Steiner schools, adapt better to higher education, experiencing fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression and reporting greater life satisfaction.
At Lorien Novalis School, we take pride in our students' ability to communicate effectively, their comfort in interacting with adults, and their confidence in themselves and their abilities. Our dedicated team of educators and staff are committed to providing a nurturing and supportive environment where each child can thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.
Join us at Lorien Novalis School, the School for Rudolf Steiner Education, and discover the transformative power of a holistic education. Experience the difference of a curriculum that values the individuality and unique potential of each student, and prepares them to navigate the complexities of the world with confidence and purpose.

Reviews
"I have worked at many schools, public and private and Lorien is Sydney's best kept secret. The children have a playground set in an old fruit orchard and can still enjoy the good old fashioned joy of climbing trees and running across large spaces in nature. The Steiner curriculum ensures the head, heart and hands of the child are nurtured creating a child of confidence and an inner sense of well being."
"Steiner education has worked well for my daughter who was not motivated nor developing in the local public school; Lorien offers hands-on skills and nurtures the kids own ability as opposed to the hard-driven performance-based school system... I understand it is not for everyone, after all we live in a competitive world but not everyone can or should be coerced to become a scientist, doctor or lawyer; my daughter found her calling in art and we're extremely happy with how she developed in this school"
"I attended for only a few months in 2014 and whilst there were a few teachers that were absolutely wonderful and nurturing (the best teachers name was Patrice I believe, she was amazing and I wish I could thank her now) I can’t say the same for most of them. I used to dress a bit alternatively and so I’d wear black, this specific day I had a band t-shirt on with a picture of the band (no scary imagery or anything) and that afternoon I was pulled into a room with my mother. Four people (the vice principal and other higher ups) proceeded to tell me I was “scaring the kids” with how I dressed. That stuck with me as someone who joined the school with severe anxiety. I felt embarrassed and confused and my low self confidence took plummeted further. This may seem like nothing but as a child that sticks with you. I have other negative experiences from this school but overall there are some truely wonderful staff that are sadly overshadowed by the bad faculty"
"Lorien Novalis is a school that not only teaches students, it prepares them for the future. Combining the school curriculum with insightful class trips and excursions, fantastic and committed teachers and beautiful grounds, Lorien students learn resilience, problem solving and creativity and become part of a supportive, extended community. It's what schooling for the future should be,"
"Lorien Novalis School has been an amazing experience for my daughter. From the moment we called to inquire we experienced a warm 'family' welcome and that has continued. My daughter loves going to school and as a result her school work has improved dramatically. She has made some amazing friendships. Her experience here has helped reignite her love of learning, her curiosity and her imagination. The school offers a wholistic approach which embraces academic and creative learning which is engaging and imaginative. I wish I had discovered Lorien Novalis earlier!"
