The Waldorf School of San Diego is a private independent Waldorf school serving Early Childhood through 12th grade. It offers Waldorf-based, arts-integrated education with an emphasis on movement, imaginative play, and hands-on learning.
The Waldorf School of San Diego serves children from early childhood through grade 12 across a lower-school campus for Early Childhood–Grade 8 and a separate high school campus. The school emphasizes a developmentally oriented, arts-rich program that integrates practical and academic learning.
Instruction is based on Waldorf principles: learning through imitation, rhythm, movement, creative play, and hands-on artistic work. The program includes storytelling, watercolor and craft work, eurythmy (movement), seasonal celebrations, and experiential activities designed to support physical, social, and cognitive development.
Early Childhood classes include warm, organic snacks and involve children in simple food preparation. Teachers and staff include individuals with Waldorf training and a range of classroom and specialty teachers (e.g., a trained eurythmy teacher who visits classes).
