A Progressive School in a Forest-Like Setting

Boutique-style education where children learn through nature, exploration, and a Reggio Emilia inspired curriculum.

Why The Capstone School?

We provide a progressive, outdoor learning environment where every child is valued and nurtured.

Forest-Like Setting

Giant fig trees, beautiful gardens, guinea fowls, and monkeys create a peaceful, natural learning environment.

Reggio Emilia Inspired

The National Curriculum enriched by a Reggio Emilia teaching philosophy that sees each child as capable and filled with potential.

Small Class Sizes

Low student-teacher ratios ensure individual recognition, nurturing, and personalised attention for every child.

Boutique Learning

A warm, loving environment where children are nurtured from pre-primary through to Grade 7.

Christian Values

A loving, Christian-centred approach that emphasises shared values, respect, and integrity.

Outdoor Classrooms

Children learn through the natural environment — growing gardens, exploring open spaces, and discovering nature.

The Capstone School primary campus

“At the heart of the Reggio Emilia philosophy is the image of the child — filled with potential, competent and capable of building their own theories.”
