At Enkindle we want to provide our students with the best of everything. By using a democratic model of operation, we will be able to use parts of Montessori, Steiner, Forrest School, and many other methods of educating instead of being tied to just one. At our school, students will have a choice and a voice in their education, with parents, teachers and students collaborating to create an education plan that is best suited to each students’ needs and interests.

We cultivate a school environment where children are encouraged to learn the necessary skills to truly prepare them for a successful future. When children are given liberty and autonomy in a nurturing and playful environment, the result is creative and innovative thinking. We also encourage reflection, debate, discussion and evaluation of current educational thought on a whole school level. Understanding that by being open to the latest research we can incorporate the very best of contemporary knowledge about teaching and learning to become more innovative and effective educators.

At Enkindle, our vision is to cultivate capable and free-thinking people. Our mission is to ignite their hearts and minds through a vibrant and engaging environment that provides a voice and choice.

Enkindle Village School is an independent, government-accredited school. At Enkindle, we are committed to giving our best, thinking outside the box, and continually learning and growing to ensure that each child and family is supported on their educational journey with us. We follow the Australian Curriculum, but with a more holistic and real-life learning approach, ensuring that students engage with both academic and practical skills. Our unique path and purpose set us apart from traditional schooling, and it’s important that the decision to join us is well considered.
