Strategic Purpose Statement |
This is a secondary school qualification, owned and quality-managed by the Federation of Rudolf Steiner Waldorf Schools in New Zealand Inc, who will accredit providers (normally schools) to deliver the programme, and who will award the Steiner School Certificate Level 2. The qualification aims to certify those students who undertake, and achieve in, a learning programme in a Rudolf Steiner pedagogical context (usually a school) which seeks to develop the skills, knowledge, capabilities and attitudes required for the final year of secondary schooling, as well as post-secondary school life, including work and/or further university or other tertiary study. The target student is primarily, but not exclusively, Year 12 students who have moved through 3 years (Years 9-11) of the Steiner high school curriculum, participating in a range of compulsory components, and who are wishing to have certified their achievements in the whole of the year's learning programme, which includes compulsory courses.

Graduate profile |
Graduates of the Steiner School Certificate Level 2 will have a firm foundation for the final year of Steiner education (Class 12) and for post-secondary life as independent life-long learners who are able to be self-reflective and take responsibility for themselvs when required. Graduates will have persisted in a very broad range of activities and subject matter, have learnt to analyse and critique what comes towards them, and have sensitivity to independent, alternative or creative views of the world. Graduates as SSC level 2 will have demonstrated the ability to solve familiar problems and to apply learning across a broad range of contexts. They will be able to work in directed, and some undirected, activity. They will typically have openness and connectedness to the world and its peoples, will demonstrate tolerance and respect for others, and have a curiosity about all aspects of life.
