Admissions
Our community’s hearts are with all the families affected by the Southern California fires. We are here to support.
Children benefit from as much normalcy in their daily routine as possible, especially during these difficult times. Summerfield Waldorf School & Farm is offering FREE tuition for the remainder of the 2024/25 school year for Preschool-Grade 12 students who attended a Waldorf school that has been lost to the fires.
Please contact our Admissions Director for more details at admissions@summerfieldwaldorf.org
