Parents were losing faith in the state education system and they wanted a creative, child-centered schooling system where the children would be in smaller classes and have a love for learning. \u00a0 Gaia started at the Centre for Creative Education in 1998.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back then, the school consisted of a kindergarten with a handful of children taught by 2 teachers. The school then moved shortly afterwards to a church hall in Observatory and in September 2000, we moved to the Oude Molen Eco Village, where we are now.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our two-hundred-year-old building, part of an original farmhouse building, was built in the late 1700s was in a derelict state, but being a heritage site, could not be demolished. It needed serious renovations.\u00a0 Yet our community of parents and teachers showed tremendous pioneering spirit and got to work creating play spaces and classroom areas.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our growth was also fuelled by our prime urban-suburban-metropolis location, we are the closest Waldorf school to the CBD, on the railway line and yet surrounded by a village of horses, chickens, peacocks, fields, trees, rivers, mountain views and more.\u00a0 Our competitive school fees allow for a broad and vibrant cultural blend of children.
