Berkeley Rose Waldorf School: Openings in Grades - Visit May 8th
Berkeley Rose Waldorf School, now located in its forever home in the Piedmont Avenue neighborhood of Oakland, has limited open spots in our grades programs for Fall 2025. Second grade through Sixth grade are accepting applicants for Fall. Visiting now will allow your child to participate in shadow days at our school before the school year is complete, for the full experience of the community, their future classmates and teacher. Joining our middle school at 6th grade is a natural moment for integration to our school community.
What you can expect: your child is a known member of a tightly knit class of 11-17 students. They are seen as an individual with their own educational and life journey; our teachers strive to support the unique student before them, cultivate natural talents and gifts, strengthen students around challenge areas, give support so that students can naturally allow their interests and curiosities to blossom. Academics are taught with intentionality and deeply considered timelines which unfold along with the child's development. Lessons are taught and then are revisited for a deepening of the material and of understanding. All topics are chosen to meet the 21st century Californian child in this modern world, drawing on the wisdom of 105 years of Waldorf Education. A reverence for other cultures, religions, languages, ethnicities, opinions, genders, and thoughts is cultivated and grows naturally from the focus on the human being, NOT on technology, speed, kill and drill, memorization of rote facts, or by teaching to any test. School reinforces what parents believe: students are capable beings who can take on more and more each year, are clever, creative, and resilient. Taught to believe in themselves, Waldorf students take on the world with gusto.
Parents and guardians, experience our school during the school day during our last tour of the year: May 8th.
