Primary/Secondary Education

Erasmus Primary School was established in 1996 by the School of Philosophy Melbourne, one of a worldwide group of schools which offer courses in philosophy and self-development to adults. The first of these schools of philosophy (known as the School of Economic Science) was established in London in the 1930s, and a number have gone on to establish children's schools around the world – St James Schools London, Johannesburg and Durban; John Scottus School Dublin; John Colet School Sydney and Ficino School Auckland. All share the same guiding ethos, which acknowledges that every person shares the same universal essence, and that given the right conditions, all have the capacity to grow to their full potential. Why ErasmusThe primary years are the time to lay a firm foundation for the adult of tomorrow. At the heart of all that we do at Erasmus Primary School is the desire to provide each child with what he or she needs to flourish and live a civilised and cultured life for the good of society. This means developing a character that is caring, thoughtful, resilient, happy, effective and disciplined. Through the provision of the finest materials, a rich and rigorous academic program, performing and fine arts, physical education, classical languages, philosophy, meditation and service, we seek to empower each child to express his or her unique talents wholeheartedly with true self-confidence. Our focus is the cultivation of every aspect of the child's being – body, mind, heart and spirit.
