Sanderling Waldorf School

My two children have attended Sanderling for three years. We feel so fortunate to be a part of such a warm, supportive and nurturing community. The leadership is excellent and attentive, and the teachers are caring and capable. I trust that they have taken the time to get to know my children, and have their best interests at heart. The curriculum is age-appropriate and interesting.

Waldorf education provides a thorough, in-depth curriculum that meets the children at each developmental stage to foster their imagination, excite their thinking, and develop their capacities so that they may grow up to be free thinking, independent human beings.

My child is happy to go to school each day. I know he is held by an entire community. I love the stories he brings home, the ideas and imagination that come out of him and to watch his sheer joy for learning. We feel so grateful to be a part of a flourishing and nurturing school that enriches the lives of children, parents, teachers and administrators.

The Sanderling Waldorf School in Encinitas is a school unlike any other for so many reasons. The education is beautiful and magical. The curriculum is designed to meet the various stages of child development. Beginning in the 1st grade, the children learn two languages - Spanish and German. The specialty classes are also what make our school so unique. Besides the fact that my children LOVE their school, I too, LOVE being a part of this special community of like minded folks.

I love Sanderling School, because I know that when I drop my daughter off there she is in loving hands. Her teachers truly care for her as an individual and nurture her to be who she is. I love that the arts is incorporated throughout her day and that she is not subjected to testing and busy work. Sanderling is a beautiful environment for children to become who they are.

Younger children can play a lot, and nurture their imagination. Older children can learn with such an artistic way.

The Sanderling School may be small, but it has a big heart. We feel grateful that there is a Waldorf School in our community. We have a dedicated staff of teachers who genuinely care about their students. We have a dedicated group of parent/volunteers whose efforts help carry the school forward. The look on the faces of the children who are there every day tell the story of how wonderful it is to be a student at the school.
