ALFA is an acronym for Active Learning For Adolescents.

 Active learning means that students become actively engaged in their own learning process.  This engagement comes from the students forming a relationship with their work that will make it meaningful for them.  Alfa does this through project based learning where the students are engaged  intellectually (the head), artistically (the heart) and practically (the hands). Alfa recognises that learning involves the whole person.

The Alfa Project offers a full time, three year integrated programme of education for 13 to 16 year olds.  The aim is to facilitate all the students to reach their full potential, take responsibility for their education and their lives.

Our curriculum is based on the Steiner/Waldorf curriculum, as devised by the Austrian Philosopher Rudolf Steiner and practised by 800 Waldorf Schools around the world.
