We are an independent Waldorf school offering programs from Pre-Kindergarten through Eighth Grade. Founded in 1989, Cedar Springs is a Full Member Waldorf school accredited by the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA). Positioned in a natural setting, away from the hustle and bustle of urban living and yet just minutes from Highway 50, our school is a desirable locale for many families in El Dorado County and its surrounding areas.

Dedicated to providing quality instruction to each child, our maximum class size in First through Eighth Grades is 24 children. Smaller class sizes are a hallmark of our Kindergartens, which also have assistants to best support the needs and rhythms of the younger child.

Our Vision

Guided by a care and respect for each human being, our vision is to provide a Waldorf education that nurtures and develops each child's mind, body, and spirit through imagination, creativity, academic excellence, independent thinking, and an enthusiasm for life.

We aspire to develop thinking, caring individuals who will improve the world through their thoughts, spoken words, and deeds.
