A Steiner Education
Helen Sherry, Principal
A note from our Principal
Our school provides a child-centred education that seeks to nurture ‘the hand, the head and the heart’ of every child
At Cuan na Gaillimhe CNS, we are proud to offer a nurturing and creative learning environment inspired by the Steiner approach to education. Rooted in the heart of Galway, our school values each child as a unique individual, fostering curiosity, imagination, and a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. As a Community National School, we are inclusive and welcoming to all. We celebrate diversity, encourage respect, and work in partnership with families to support the growth of confident, compassionate, and capable young people. Through a rich blend of academic, artistic, and practical experiences, we guide our pupils to develop their full potential, head, heart, and hands working together in harmony. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our ethos, our curriculum, and the vibrant school community that makes Cuan na Gaillimhe CNS such a special place to learn and grow.
Testimonials
"We chose the Steiner pedagogy mainly for the child-focused nature and play-based values. What we receive is so much more: a community of like-minded, earth-conscious, ethical families that value slow living, nature, emotional intelligence and the inherent goodness in all people. I feel so blessed to be part of this school and grateful for the opportunity to be directly involved in making the school a gorgeous place for our kids and ourselves as adults to feel welcomed as we are and thrive."
Rachael/Parent
"I feel truly blessed to be part of this community and that my children have this opportunity for such a wonderfully engaged, inspiring, creative, authentic way of growing up."
Lynn/Parent
"All teachers are so dedicated and caring. They are kind and patient, giving each child time to grow at their own speed. A much gentler approach to raising children than putting them in a prescribed form. The teachers and parents both share these values, creating a lovely sense of community.
