Steiner education values the social context of education and recommends that where possible families enrol their children in a school but recognises that in some circumstances this is not possible.

Mentors

SEA maintains a database of mentors with Steiner teaching experience. This is a private choice of the family and SEA is not involved in any further arrangements. All financial agreements are a private matter between the mentor and the family.

Registration Requirements

SEA has been contacted by many home schooling families who have chosen to use the ASCF nationally recognised curriculum K-10.

Requirements vary for each state and may involve e.g. in NSW further state curriculum content alignments. Support in meeting state requirements is obtained from the relevant state education offices.

Home schooling vs. Distance Education

Home schooling is when parents develop or adapt their own learning program for their child at home and the parent is the child’s educator. Successful home schooling is characterised by a high level of commitment, research, time and energy that is focused on the child’s learning needs. Children who are home schooled must be registered for home schooling with their relevant state authority.

Distance education is when parents enrol their child in a school of distance education. A learning program is provided by the school and parents act as supervisors or home tutors to the child within their home. Distance education programs are implemented via mail, email, telephone and/or online platforms. Children enrolled in a school of distance education are not registered for home schooling with their state authority.
