Admissions
A note from our Admissions Director
We are delighted to welcome you to Summerfield Waldorf School & Farm, where education comes alive through experience, creativity, and community. We invite you to discover the beauty and intentionality that make Summerfield such a special place for children to grow, explore, and thrive.
At Summerfield, we believe in nurturing the whole child — hands, heart, and head — through a rich curriculum that spans from birth to 18. From the earliest years in our parent-child program to the transformative experiences of high school, every stage of learning is designed to honor the unique journey of each student.
With warm regards,
Annalyse Jorgensen
Admissions Director
