Santa Cruz Waldorf School

General information

The Waldorf curriculum forms an ideal framework for social and intellectual growth. Our school culture values social and environmental responsibility, reflecting the progressive and culturally diverse town of Santa Cruz. Children do meaningful work indoors as well as outdoors in the yard and garden. Children are taught to work for the love of work itself and for others, to enjoy the strength of their bodies and their connection to the earth and to one another.

We are a member of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America http://www.whywaldorfworks.org/
