Cuan na Gaillimhe CNS
A Steiner Education
A note from our principal Helen
"Our school provides a child-centered 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.

Testimonials
Rachael
"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."

I feel truly blessed to be part of this community and that my children have this opportunity of such a wonderfully engaged inspiring creative authentic way of growing our children
Yoshiko
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 raise children than putting them in a prescribed form.
The teachers and parents both share these values creating a lovely sense of community.
