Michael Park School

Michael Park School is the only Steiner school in central Auckland, and we take care of the learning journey right through from Kindergarten to High School.

Our students are encouraged to “Relate, Create and Inspire” – building healthy relationships with those around them, enjoying new projects, and finding the inspiration to seek out their unique purpose in the world and pursue it with courage.

The world in which we now live has been changed, possibly forever, by the pandemic. It has given us the time, opportunity and impetus to reflect on what is really important to us as individuals, parents and a wider society.

At Michael Park we have been putting children at the centre of what we do for over forty years. Cherishing childhood, nurturing individuals, and developing deep and meaningful relationships is at the heart of what we believe philosophically and what drives the daily life of the school.

We are large enough to provide the richness of experience to support every child on the journey to who they can be, but also small enough that we know students and families as individuals.

Learning within practical, creative and relevant contexts allows students to develop resilience, creativity, communication skills and an understanding of how to learn, as well as fostering a love of learning. At Michael Park School we cherish childhood and provide a programme which emphasises the development of imagination alongside physical skills, thinking capacities and social relationships. We go to considerable lengths to facilitate the students’ ability to be self-directed, reflective and self-aware learners and this is supported by the structure of our learning programmes, the school environment and our approach to growth and development.
