Experience Michael Oak Waldorf School

Our community has always been one of Michael Oak’s greatest strengths. Many of the families who join our school do so because a friend, colleague or family member encouraged them to come and experience Michael Oak for themselves.

If you know someone who is looking for a school for their child, we would be grateful if you would share this invitation with them.

Our Open Day is also a wonderful opportunity for current parents to explore the next stage of their child’s journey. Whether your child is preparing to move into Kindergarten, Primary or High School, we warmly invite you to come along, meet the teachers and experience what lies ahead.

Open Day
Saturday 1 August 2026
09h00 – 11h00

Booking is essential.
Childminding is available for children aged 3 years and older during the Open Day.
