You did mention the <a href="http://www.ch.steiner.school.nz/" rel="nofollow">Christchurch Rudolf Steiner school</a> once before and I'll check it out. I know that even after only 18 months I've been a bit surprised to find out more about the regular curriculum at "regular" schools. Math is definitely much better than what previous NZ generations experienced but art is still definitely a poor cousin. My daughter goes to a regular after school art classes at <a href="http://www.inspirational.co.nz/Default.aspx?tabid=335" rel="nofollow">Marco Trust</a> and is a very keen artist anyway.
