My son graduated from SWS in 2022. He attended K - 12 at SWS. I had a great experience as a parent at SWS. The community and teachers were welcoming, committed and dedicated to my child's education and his social well-being. SWS was a phenomenal experience for my son and I know he would not have developed into the upstanding young man he is without having attended SWS.

Outstanding basketball program for boys and girls. 6th grade to 12th grade. Coach Stark is one of the best coaches in the history of high school sports.

My children are thriving at Sacramento Waldorf school. They enjoy gardening, strings, handwork, languages, clay, woodworking, movement, eurythmy ... It's so well rounded that the children are still passionate about the academic learning that comes in main lesson. Absolutely recommend.

We discovered SWS about three years ago. For my entire life I have been planning to homeschool any children I have. That is until we found SWS. Having a PhD in a medical science, I was skeptical at first about the level of math and science provided to the students, but after looking over the lessons...
