Vistara Primary School - A New Approach to Learning
Discover a new way of learning one that shapes not just bright students, but bright futures.
"Neo" means new and Neo-Humanism offers a fresh, forward-thinking approach to education, one that nurtures not just young minds but also kind, compassionate hearts. Rooted in the understanding that everything in the world is interconnected, Neo-Humanism encourages children to grow with a deep sense of respect, curiosity and responsibility for themselves, others and the environment.
Neo-Humanist schools from preschools and long day care centres to primary schools, high schools and colleges exist across the globe. They offer an education that goes beyond academics. They create a love for learning, ethical thinking and a sense of belonging in a world that values diversity and care for all living beings.
Choosing Vistara Primary School means joining a community committed to cultivating compassionate, thoughtful and environmentally conscious individuals prepared to contribute positively to the world.
Founded in 1987, Vistara Primary School is a not-for-profit independent school set in the picturesque rural landscape of Richmond Hill. Conveniently located near Goonellabah, Lismore and Alstonville.
“I loved Vistara when I was a student here, and I love it even more now that my children are students here.”
— Remi, School Parent
