     'Holistic' Schools in Australia

When is a school 'holistic'?

The schools listed on this page appear to follow some holistic principles and practice.

 

The Booroobin Sudbury School - a centre of learning

Queensland


"A private, independent and Australia's only truly democratic school enrolling responsible students from 4 to 19 years of age who learn continuously without imposed curricula and are regarded with respect as whole, unique individuals who mix freely with people of all ages, without being arbitrarily segregated."

The School of Total Education

Queensland

The ideals of Total Education are given substance through the expression people give them in their lives. In the planning and the evolution of its program, the School has emphasised the dimension of personal growth. It is an emphasis that gives the School its unique atmosphere.

School of Social Ecology and Lifelong Learning

NSW

Ours is a transdisciplinary school which has learning at the centre of its mission. We strive to understand, develop and apply forms of learning that will contribute to sustainable futures for our planet, its environment and its people. We use the liberating frameworks of social ecology and lifelong learning as a basis for study and research relating to:
 

  • Personal, social and cultural action

  • Social ecology and spirituality

  • Transformational learning in schools and communities

The School of Human Ecology

NSW

Human Ecology is about a way of people relating; and a way for people to learn how to solve problems together in a manner which builds trust. It is a way of being in nature as a part of nature and not isolated in the world of human constructs.

It is like a bridge between the old materialistic paradigm & an emerging co-operative way. It provides a way forward for situations which become stuck in the issues of diversity and conflict.
