WELCOME TO SUMMERFIELD WALDORF SCHOOL & FARM
Request our information packet and tell us about your child. We offer preschool through high school Waldorf education on our beautiful 38-acre campus and farm in Sonoma County. The school was established in 1974 and is the only school in the state with a working Biodynamic® farm on its campus.
Come and see first hand the richness and depth of Summerfield’s curriculum where experiential learning builds students’ capacities. Experience a day in the life of Sonoma County’s oldest independent school, where academic excellence is cultivated and inspired learning takes place daily.
Thank you for considering Summerfield Waldorf as you embark on the journey of choosing a school for your family. Summerfield is uniquely positioned to engage its students and faculty, creating a learning environment that fosters the awakening consciousness and abilities of students academically, socially and artistically.
Summerfield Waldorf School & Farm welcomes both exchange students, as well as international students in Kindergarten through Grade 12 (for short- and long-term durations).
Annual Giving Campaign
Our Annual Giving Campaign begins Monday, October 21 and continues through Friday, December 6, 2024. Help us reach our 2024-25 goal of $250,000.
Why give? Making a tax-deductible contribution enables us to offer a tuition lower than other private schools in the area, allowing a wonderfully diverse cross-section of our community to attend Summerfield. Your support funds in part our unique student programs such as farming, practical arts, and speciality handwork classes– many of which cannot be found at other Waldorf, private, or independent schools.
Your giving also helps us offer financial assistance to community members who could not afford to be here without help, but are dedicated to Waldorf education. Ensuring our school is alive with the vibrancy of other cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds helps our campus thrive.
As we celebrate our 50th Anniversary (1974-2024) this school year, we are grateful for the many years of experiential learning found here at Summerfield Waldorf which has been instrumental in developing young people into well-rounded, curious, compassionate, and confident adults.
GIVE HERE to support our school & farm and make a true difference in the lives of our community’s children. #SupportSummerfieldWaldorf
