About Lorien Novalis Steiner School
Set on 15 acres of serene natural bushland in the Hills District, Lorien Novalis School offers an education that nurtures the whole human being—intellectually, creatively, socially, and ethically. Grounded in the Steiner philosophy and aligned with the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) curriculum, Lorien blends high-quality academic teaching with a deep respect for childhood development, imagination, and purposeful learning.
Lorien’s educational approach is built on three guiding qualities – imagination, creativity, and curiosity.
These qualities shape every stage of learning, from early childhood through to Class 12, allowing students to build strong foundations in English, Mathematics, Science and the Humanities, enriched with Music, Visual Arts, Drama, Design, and Craft. The result is a balanced curriculum where creative arts sit alongside traditional academic subjects as equal drivers of growth and achievement.
Students learn in an environment that values independent thinking, practical capability, and emotional intelligence. Our bushland campus is itself a classroom—an ever-present connection to nature that fosters calm, clarity, and a genuine sense of belonging. Outdoor learning, hands-on projects, and real-world application of knowledge are integral to the Lorien experience.
Our dedicated and highly qualified teachers work with the developmental stages of childhood, cultivating confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning. Lorien is a non-selective, co-educational school, and we are committed to supporting every student to reach their full academic, creative, and personal potential.
Rich in community and guided by a collaborative culture between teachers, parents, and students, Lorien Novalis School offers an education that inspires purpose, capability, and compassion. Graduates leave prepared not only for further study and meaningful careers, but also for thoughtful engagement with the world.
