SIERRA WALDORF SCHOOL

Sierra Waldorf School was established in 1989 by a dedicated group of parents and teachers who sought a high quality learning environment for their children. After investigating various educational methods, they found Waldorf education to be relevant, effective, and time-proven, with over 92 years of successful application worldwide.

Early Childhood

The Early Childhood Program in a Waldorf school provides the young child with a warm, beautiful and loving home-like environment, which is protective and secure where things happen in a predictable, rythmical manner. The teacher engages in domestic, practical and artistic activities that the children can readily imitate (baking, painting, gardening, songs, and handcrafts.) Additionally, the teacher nurtures the childrens power of imagination through storytelling and free play.

Nursery/Kindergarten

Lower and Upper Grades

In the first eight grades of school, children are exposed to the main branches of human knowledge. During that time, they also form their sense of self and their attitude toward others and the world around them. In short, they lay the foundation for their future striving and development. It is the aim of Waldorf education to make their foundation resilient and broad.
3rd Grade Shelter Project

The children participate in music, drama and a variety of other artistic activities, practice hands-on skills such as knitting, gardening and woodworking. They enjoy physical education in addition to solid academic subjects such as English, History, Geography, Mathematics, and the Sciences.
