Discover Marinela: An Exceptional Holistic School in Barbados
For families considering relocating to the Caribbean, finding the right education for their children is essential. Marinela, a leading private holistic school in Barbados, offers a unique learning experience that blends academic excellence with creativity, mindfulness, and a deep connection to nature. Inspired by Waldorf education and the philosophy of Rudolf Steiner, Marinela nurtures the whole child—body, mind, and spirit—making it the ideal choice for families seeking both meaningful education and thoughtful integration into Barbados’ vibrant culture. Christie’s International Real Estate Barbados recently had the opportunity to visit Marinela and to learn more about how its Waldorf-inspired principles are fostering an extraordinary learning environment for children of all ages.
A Holistic, Child-Centered Approach
Marinela’s philosophy is child-centered, respecting each child’s individuality, natural rhythms, and development. The curriculum integrates academics with art, music, movement, gardening, and play to foster intellectual, emotional, and physical growth.
The 15-acre campus features a working farm, fruit orchards, vegetable gardens, a pond, tennis court, swimming pool, and light-filled spaces for creativity and reflection. International educators trained in Waldorf and holistic methods bring global expertise to guide children in curiosity, empathy, and confidence.
Nutrition, Community, and Lifelong Learning
Nutrition is a key part of Marinela’s holistic approach. Plant-based, organic meals prepared from seasonal ingredients—many grown on-site—teach children gratitude and a connection to the Earth. Mixed-age classrooms promote mentorship, collaboration, and social growth.
For families relocating to Barbados or locals seeking a progressive educational experience, Marinela Holistic School remains a premium choice. By working with the Christie’s International Real Estate Barbados team, families can secure not only their dream Caribbean home, but also be introduced to a premier private educational institution that nurtures children’s sense of community, creativity, and connection to nature.
