Mission

We accomplish our mission by recognizing each student as a unique individual with body, soul, and spirit. We offer an academic, artistic, and experiential education based on the insights and pedagogy of Rudolf Steiner, which is a holistic approach that meets the needs of the developing child. By holding a reverence for the path of each individual, we cultivate a dynamic culture of community and life-long learning.
History

Founded in 1959, Sacramento Waldorf School began as a home-based kindergarten with just two children. It quickly outgrew its early home, moving first to a rented church hall, then to a house and garden provided almost free of charge by a parent. Growth continued and the school graduated its first eighth grade in 1967. In 1971, the school moved to its present location, establishing a 3 1/2 acre mixed use farm as a first step in its relocation. The Farm continues to thrive, a statement of the school’s commitment to its natural surroundings. The campus has been continuously developed as enrollment has increased.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

The Sacramento Waldorf school is committed to being a safe place for people of diverse backgrounds to be both welcomed and appreciated. Our community strives to bring students the experience of individuality, shared humanity, and equality to all of the world’s people–transcending stereotypes, prejudices, and divisive barriers.
