Student Life
Healthy Achievement: Beyond the Classroom
At San Francisco Waldorf School, we help young people develop into well-rounded adults. Through clubs and affinity groups, our students volunteer their time, make friends, learn something new, and make a difference in the world. Most clubs and affinity groups meet on campus during the school day. These groups are student-initiated, varying each year based on interest, and supported by a staff or faculty member.
If you could go back in time to re-live one year or one experience from San Francisco Waldorf School, what year/experience would you choose and why?
"I would relive the most collaborative moments with my friends in the hardest honors STEM classes: a true place of connection, over hard problems that require deep thinking and the help of many viewpoints, where I heard some of the best jokes, and had the most fun and a feeling of success and discovery."- Cyrus Chambers, Class of 2025
