    From San Francisco Waldorf High School

    We offer an education that is both creative and rigorous and based on human connection. Our highly-trained faculty teach the right things at the right time and discover the unique spark in each student to inspire a love of learning, goodness, and the world. There are opportunities to question, reflect, and discuss principles behind the work in the classroom as students learn from life—together. Students discover the art of scientific phenomena, the beauty of mathematics, and the great ideas of humankind. Small by design, the size of our school allows each student to be seen and ensures each contributes. Visit a classroom and you’ll see students who strive for more than just the right answer, who create careful and thoughtful work, who try their hand at everything. Waldorf high school graduates are college-bound and feel prepared by their education to be creative innovators. Meet a graduate and you know someone who is determined to make an impact on the world.

    Breadth and Depth in a Well-Rounded Curriculum

    academic spotlight

    The day begins with Main Lesson, a period of intensive intellectual exploration. It’s a deep dive—nearly two hours each morning—into a specific subject such as botany, calculus, or poetics. Next are classes on a track that continues all year: mathematics, world languages, and humanities. The afternoon is dedicated to the arts, movement, physical education, study hall, clubs, or other academics.
