ABOUT THE WALDORF SCHOOL OF MENDOCINO COUNTY
The Waldorf School of Mendocino County was founded with one purpose - to build a space for all students to grow, learn and create with each passing day. Through a unique teaching approach and a truly passionate faculty, we help students develop academically and personally to their full potential.
Founded in 1972, the Waldorf School of Mendocino County is the oldest independent school in Mendocino County. We are approaching our 50th birthday with great excitement!
We invite you to explore our site and discover the academics and community life The Waldorf School of Mendocino County provides to each and every student. Get in touch with us today to schedule a tour, learn more about enrollment, or ask any other questions.
Our Roots and Shoots program provides education and resources for families and their children from 1-3 years of age. Families come together in an inviting home-like environment where young children are encouraged to explore their world through imaginative play.
PARENT CHILD
Roots & Shoots
Our Early Childhood program fosters the development of the whole child. Each classroom is warm, inviting, orderly, and intentionally filled with beautiful, natural materials. The Early Childhood Program is a gentle place where children can imagine freely, while feeling safe and comfortable.
EARLY CHILDHOOD
Preschool / Kindergarten
The educational journey begins in the lower grades where students learn how to learn. Using students’ strong imaginations and curiosity, foundational concepts are introduced through exploration and discovery.
LOWER GRADES
Grades 1 - 5
UPPER GRADES
Grades 6 -8
To meet the evolving needs of the growing student, rigorous academics and artistic studies are expanded and deepened. Self-discovery and exploration are encouraged.
OUR PROGRAMS
This school has given our daughter something she’s never had at any other school—the personal attention to not just her academics but also her emotional and developmental growth. She went from hating school to loving it the day we transferred her here, and we couldn’t be happier.
