What a wonderful first week of school, starting with our opening day on Tuesday. Everyone gathered under the canopy for meaningful moments together, including when the seniors were paired with first graders to show them around the campus.

Earlier in the morning, our seniors also enjoyed a long-standing tradition of senior classes greeting the sunrise together on the first day of school, followed by breakfast together on the farm.

Join us this week at Sacramento Waldorf School for lots of basil, tomatoes and cherry tomatoes, apples, the first pears of the season, and always eggs!

Our Farm Stand returns today and will be open from 3:00 pm to 3:50 pm every Thursday. Supported by the Sixth Grade class, the Farm Stand is part of their business math curriculum. Cash only - we want the students to do the math and make the change.

We are grateful for your support of our students and their learning experiences. Thank you to the Sixth Grade students and especially Farmer Steve.

We were delighted to welcome our newest High School students and parents to Sacramento Waldorf School this morning! Families had the opportunity to get to know our new high school administrator, Whitni Carlson, and learn about sports, drama, clubs, student council, student support, our amazing Peer Support Program, and the many opportunities that await them.

And this evening, we look forward to warmly welcoming our new Lower School parents!

“Silicon Valley Executives are Tech Fans. Just Not for Their Own Kids.” An important article in The New York Times, August 18, 2026.

Instead of laptops and online tools, at Sacramento Waldorf School, students practice cursive and draw what they learn in the classroom using crayons, colored pencils, and calligraphy pens. Restricting screens in the Lower School allows our students the full benefit of imaginative, hands-on learning, helping them learn and thrive.

We are now enrolling! Come see how experiential learning comes to life on our 22-acre campus in Fair Oaks.

This week, our faculty and staff came together for three days of learning, collaboration, and preparation as we look ahead to the start of our school year. We are grateful to our guest speaker, Liz Beaven, for sharing her inspiring insights on child development within the Waldorf curriculum. We also participated in valuable emergency preparedness training with the International School of Tactical Medicine, gaining important knowledge and skills to help keep our community safe. A heartfelt thank you to Zocalo for providing a delicious meal. One highlight was gathering in song under the guidance of our talented choir teacher, Destiny Elazier, as we prepared a special piece to share during our Opening Day Ceremony.

We can’t wait to welcome students to Sacramento Waldorf School for the 2026-2027 school year!

First Grade puts curiosity and imagination to work, building a foundation for confidence, active engagement, and lifelong learning. Through storytelling, movement, handwork, and art, we transform lessons into meaningful experiences students can touch, feel, and truly understand.

Sacramento Waldorf School offers a holistic approach to learning that develops children’s innate capacities (wonder, reverence, attention, curiosity, confidence).

We are now enrolling! Come see how experiential learning comes to life on our 22-acre campus in Fair Oaks.

There’s something quietly magnetic about Hadean — a brilliance that shows in everyday conversation as much as onstage. A lifelong Waldorf student, he took leading roles in every school production, with a gift for acting and singing that ranged from comedic to devastating — Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors, the toughest role in The Laramie Project. For the senior play, Spies Like Us, he stepped into sound design and still walked on stage, that presence carrying into jazz band, learning sax, and teaching himself piano and guitar.

His mind extends beyond the arts, into aviation, engineering, architecture, biology, alongside jewelry making and blacksmithing. A film enthusiast with a great sense of humor, he’s just as at home outdoors — skiing since age 4, mountain biking, picking up surfing, and backpacking; he summited Half Dome at 12 (with a broken toe). That spirit fuels his travels: fluent in German, drawn to French, partial to Paris, he’s visited 8+ countries and swears by riding the metro, getting off at random stops, and exploring. An adventurous foodie — Ethiopian and Georgian food are counted as favorites. He also carries a deep love for cats.

This fall, Hadean heads to Sacramento State’s Honors College. Though accepted to Cal Poly, he chose to stay close to family, especially his brother, Seidon.

Sports were a major part of Phaedon’s High School experience, which he says taught him lessons in sportsmanship, respect, and teamwork. While basketball was his favorite sport, Phaedon was one of the founding members of the boys varsity volleyball team and loved playing soccer, too. Phaedon also took pride in coaching the Sixth-Grade boys basketball team during his senior year, serving as a mentor and role model to those players.

Upon arriving at Sacramento Waldorf School in Ninth Grade, he says he especially appreciated the welcoming community. Although High School was intimidating at first, that quickly changed after meeting classmates on the first day and experiencing how warm and inclusive other students were.

In High School, Phaedon was involved in the Student Council since Tenth Grade, helping plan dances, charity events, and other community activities. In Twelfth Grade, he was also a member of the new Peer Support program, helping other students, including talking to Middle Schoolers about sportsmanship and holding circles with them during their social-emotional learning classes. He loved getting to know our youngest students during his time working in the Summer Program.

Phaedon has always been interested in taking photos, so he joined the photography club. This valuable learning opportunity helped him contribute meaningfully to our school Yearbook, of which he was also a contributing team member.

Notably, he really enjoyed the arts program at our school and took a strong interest in architecture. In the fall, he plans to attend Arizona State University, where he’s been accepted into the architecture program.

Last week, our Summer Program officially came to a close. What a magical summer it was, filled with so much laughter, joy, creativity, and wonder spread throughout our campus.

We celebrated lost teeth, welcomed fairies bearing sparkling gems, and watched children's imaginations shine through in everything they created. Children poured their whole hearts into each experience, making this summer filled with memories that will be cherished for years to come.
