AMAZING EDUCATION, AMAZING RESULTS
Waldorf School
JOBS + EDUCATION
We invite the community to explore all we offer students and all our students offer the world,” says Marcela Iglesias, Administrator of the Sacramento Waldorf School.“ Waldorf students are the entrepreneurs of the future and the workforce any employer will be lucky to have.”
An independent member of a network of more than 1,000 Waldorf Schools worldwide, the Sacramento Waldorf School is one of the area’ s top private schools, with 96 percent of graduates going on to college. Established in 1959 in Sacramento, the school now sits on 22 acres in Fair Oaks with more than 400 students from kindergarten through 12th grade.
“ Our unique curriculum educates the whole child – head, heart, and hands, using developmentally appropriate approaches,” says Iglesias.“ This education keeps alive childhood’ s wonder and beauty and develops individual students into who they’ re going to be. We prepare them for college, but more than that, we prepare them for life.”
Part of that nurturing approach are parent-child classes with babies just a few months old taking part, as well as the school’ s on-site farm, where students of all ages learn about nature, animal husbandry, and food cultivation.
“ Waldorf graduates are changing the world as lifelong learners,” notes Iglesias.“ The cornerstone of what we teach is love of learning and creative flexible thinking – that’ s what keeps people interested and interesting for their whole lives.”
The Sacramento Waldorf School needs business sponsors to help keep tuition down and make their remarkable education available to more students. The school also asks businesses to become involved in their internship program for high school seniors.“ Our students are the best and the brightest our area has to offer,” concludes Iglesias.“ Please consider them as interns who will greatly benefit your business as they shape their own futures, and consider us for your children’ s education so we can help them become tomorrow’ s leaders.”
