About the School
Scuola Rudolf Steiner di Lugano-Origlio is a private Steiner-Waldorf day school in Ticino, offering an alternative educational pathway in Switzerland's Italian-speaking region. The school follows Waldorf pedagogy, with a curriculum designed to develop intellectual, artistic, practical, and social capacities together rather than separating academic learning from creativity and lived experience. Its strongest differentiator is its continuity of approach: the school has consolidated lower-secondary classes and has been developing an upper-secondary pathway, giving families a longer Steiner-Waldorf route in Ticino. Daily learning places importance on rhythm, imagination, handwork, movement, music, nature, and age-appropriate intellectual growth. Families often choose it for its human-centred philosophy, Italian-speaking environment, creative depth, and thoughtful alternative to conventional schooling near Lugano.
Located in the beautiful Origlio, Ticino, Scuola Rudolf Steiner di Lugano has been providing exceptional education since 1977. With a student body of 250 students from around the world, the school offers a truly international learning environment with instruction in Italian & English.
