San Francisco Waldorf School—where students strive for more than just the right answer

Creative and rigorous

Like no other school,
we weave creativity into every subject
and inspire excellence in academics

Creative and Rigorous

Timing is everything

We teach the right things at the right time,
understanding how students learn best at each age

Timing is Everything

Person to person

We’re a small school by design, because learning is
most powerful when people connect

Person to Person

A unique spirit

We look for the spark in each individual, with respect for the heart and the mind

A Unique Spirit

We go BEYOND

BEYOND convention

...where learning is more than test scores

 

We know success in a rapidly-changing world and an unknown future will require innovation, adaptability, and collaboration. These skills are where our students excel. The academic rigor of our program is only one part along this path of excellence.

BEYOND expectations

...where lifelong learning is an inspired habit

 

We foster attention, perseverance, and goal setting through hands-on experiences that make room for creativity and require follow through. Our well-rounded curriculum builds self-confidence and a drive that will serve students their whole lives—skills invaluable for all endeavors.

BEYOND the classroom

...where joy wins every time

 

We put people first because we understand that happiness is an underrated success metric. Our students love to come to school, and the relationships they build here last a lifetime. Why? Because person-to-person connections are at the forefront of how we teach and what makes our community shine.

BEYOND screens

...where our humanity is an art

 

In early childhood, we regard our screen-free classrooms and time outdoors as necessary to developing curiosity about the natural world and a connection with one another. Playtime engages learners and builds social-emotional skills while observation of the seasons strengthens a child’s awareness and capacity to problem solve creatively. This lays the foundation for academic success.
