Central Coast Waldorf School strives to awaken and ennoble capacities within the growing child, rather than focus on providing bits of information. From our perspective, we learn best when our whole self is engaged in the learning process. This deeper learning means that we should not only have thoughts about information, but we should feel something and be engaged in our motivation, as well. We call this approach an education of the "head, heart, and hands."
We achieve these goals by employing methodology that engages nature, the imagination, curiosity, reverence, and purposeful work. Additionally, the quality of the teacher relationship is an invaluable pathway to the deepest level of engagement, growth, and learning. At Central Coast Waldorf, a foundation will be laid where the child can begin the journey towards balance in feeling, initiative in action, and clarity of thought.
Central Coast Waldorf School is nestled in Los Osos, California, home to remarkable and unparalleled natural beauty that enriches the soul. Our school site enjoys the natural grace of a tidal estuary, a four-mile sand strand, eucalyptus groves, and a view of Morro Rock, just to the north of our quiet community. Our home is a hidden gem of the Central Coast, blessed by nature trails and ecological wonders. We are a short 15-minute drive, across lush farm fields and roaming cattle amidst rolling hills, from the slightly more bustling city of San Luis Obispo. Our community provides our children with a rich, inspiring environment to thrive in, where "nature walks" are just outside the classroom door. More ...
