SWS gives students a vibrant, holistic education that opens the door to a future of possibilities.

Founded in 1989, Sierra Waldorf School is a nurturing educational institution nestled in the breathtaking Sierra Nevada mountains. We are dedicated to fostering a love for learning and creating a strong sense of community among our families. Our whole-child approach towards education emphasizes outdoor play, engaging academics, inspiring arts, and a technology-free learning environment to encourage a well-rounded education.

Our Mission

Sierra Waldorf School is committed to providing a Waldorf education to children which develops their capacities for thinking, feeling, and willing, while nurturing and honoring  their spirit, soul, and physical bodies.
