Adelaide Steiner Education Association (ASEA)

We are a not-for-profit organisation committed to making Steiner education accessible, affordable, and true to its principles within South Australian public schools.

Supporting Steiner Education in South Australia

Through ASEA memberships, we provide bursaries to families in Steiner Streams who need financial support, helping more children access this form of education.

Our Steiner Streams are currently offered at Trinity Gardens School and Sheidow Park School.

We also stay closely connected with the wider South Australian Steiner community.

Our story

ASEA was founded in 2004 and successfully facilitated the launch of the first Steiner Stream school at Trinity Gardens School in Adelaide in 2006. We have proactively engaged in planning, fundraising, and collaborating with other streams, including Sheidow Park School during their development.

Moreover, we have effectively advocated for Steiner Education at the Sheoak Adult Education College.

Our commitment lies in expanding and diversifying our membership base to offer strong financial support for our families while ensuring the community foundation and integrity of Steiner education in South Australia remain.

Membership

ASEA now offers flexible membership options, so you can choose what works for you. Membership is available at $15 or $25, with a $50 option for those who wish to contribute further and support bursaries.

Your membership helps provide financial assistance to families in our Steiner Streams, making this education more accessible. You’ll also receive the Adelaide Waldorf Way newsletter, stay connected with the wider SA Steiner community, and have access to our Instrument Pool to support students’ musical journeys.

Through your support, ASEA continues to advocate for the integrity and growth of Steiner education in the public system.

Members are also eligible to apply for bursaries.

As a financial member, you are also encouraged to attend the Annual General Meeting each year, either in person or online. Your vote helps ensure ASEA can meet quorum and make the decisions that keep the association running effectively.
