Exam Results & Destination
Teachers teach to the whole child—head, heart, and hands and each lesson is revealed in a three-fold manner: through the intellectual capacities (thinking), artistic and emotional capacities (feeling), and practical skill-building capacities (willing).
A unique aspect of the Steiner curriculum is the integration of the arts into all academic disciplines throughout the education. This encourages the pupils’ emotional engagement with their learning, as well as develops their imagination and freedom of thinking, and instills aesthetic appreciation.
Our Advanced Higher pupils have achieved 100% pass rate from 2014 – 2021. The average Highers pass rate over the same period is over 90%.
We are a leading Centre for the Cambridge English Exams
We are now also registered as a centre for the delivery of Integrated Education.
It is worth noting that Edinburgh Steiner School has a comprehensive intake approach and does not select on academic grounds at any stage, and yet our Exam results are well above the Scottish average and compare favourably with other independent schools in Scotland.

The lives and careers our pupils go on to lead are as individual as the pupils themselves. Over ninety per cent of our pupils continue on to further education. Our former pupils have gone on to excel in a wide range of careers from doctors, lawyers and business professionals to artists, academics and entrepreneurs.
In fact, it was noted by School inspectors that there was an above average number of former pupils engaged in entrepreneurial activities, reflecting the success of the education in developing creative thinking and the determination to see projects come to fruition.
