What if being ready for school wasn’t just about being old enough?
What if being ready for school wasn’t just about being old enough?
At Edinburgh Steiner School, formal classroom learning begins at age six.
Before then, children learn through movement, outdoor play, storytelling, and hands-on making. Building the language, coordination, and imagination that form the foundation for academic success.
Starting formal education later doesn't mean lower expectations. It means meeting children at the right developmental moment. In a fast-paced world, we give children something increasingly scarce: time.
Time to move.
Time to wonder.
Time to be six.
Because childhood isn't a race, and education doesn't have to hurry it.
School at Six. There is time to grow up. There is time to learn.
