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

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.

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.

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.

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.
