Pre-Secondary school programme
If you're concerned that your 6th Class primary school child isn't quite ready to move on to second level, consider a new one-year Pre-Secondary Programme introduced by the Kildare Steiner Waldorf School.
The programme puts an emphasis on in-depth learning and development of creativity and independent thinking skills. The school describes it as a confidence-building and socially empowering year.
It will prepare participants for the personal, social and academic challenges that moving into second level bring. More information on the school website.
