Welcome-
The Waldorf School of Santa
Barbara is celebrating over 25 years of educating children in the Santa Barbara
area. We are an independent,
non-sectarian school providing education to children, from toddler age right up
through the eighth grade. The heart of the Waldorf approach is the conviction
that education is an art. The goal
is to present life to the children in such a way that they are filled with
wonder and enthusiasm. The
presentation of subject matter, be it math, history, physics or any other, is
alive and speaks to the child’s experience.
- "To see the whole in every part, to engage the
- head, heart and hands,
- this is the endeavor of Waldorf education."
The intention is not merely
to instruct, but to inspire and motivate each child’s creative forces from
within and to help them become creative, independent, moral individuals, able
to impart meaning and purpose to their lives.
The best way to understand
Waldorf Education is to experience it for yourself. We offer prospective
families regular opportunities to visit our campuses and discover the depth and
beauty of our curriculum in action through events such as “Walks through the Grades”, Open Houses,
and seasonal festivals.
