Waldorf is a community school in every sense of the word, each class consist of less than 30 students on average. This is very helpful for the children who thrive in a small teacher to student ratio. There are lots of unique classes to participate in. Unlike a lot of other schools SWS does not forget about either the arts or the sciences, each get plenty of shared time among the students. I do wish there are more student life type activities.

I attended the Sacramento Waldorf School from Kindergarten through 8th grade. After graduating college and having a successful career in a corporate environment I have returned to Waldorf education and am in my first year of Waldorf Teacher Training. I treasure my experiences as a Waldorf student and believe that the greatest gift you can give to a child is a Waldorf education.

My children are thriving at Sacramento Waldorf school. They enjoy gardening, strings, handwork, languages, clay, woodworking, movement, eurythmy ... It's so well rounded that the children are still passionate about the academic learning that comes in main lesson. Absolutely recommend.

We discovered SWS about three years ago. For my entire life I have been planning to homeschool any children I have. That is until we found SWS. Having a PhD in a medical science, I was skeptical at first about the level of math and science provided to the students, but after looking over the lessons...
