Sierra Waldorf School is dedicated to cultivating the capacities of each child through a developmentally respectful education based on the work of Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Waldorf Education. We create an environment that respects the individuality of each child, their higher spiritual nature and their connection to the world as a whole. The Sierra Waldorf School strives to create a community of caring adults who are committed to self-development, social responsibility and servant leadership.
