Our faculty is talented, experienced, and inspiring. We enjoy a robust school parent community that is dedicated to the longevity, health, and innovation of our school. We provide our faculty the guidance of an established College of Teachers, a full-time Lower School Administrator, a strong mentoring program, a lively collegial work environment, and an active professional development program. A window into the potential of Waldorf education is found throughout the span of our full faculty circle.

Sacramento Waldorf School is an active collaboration of faculty, staff, Board of Trustees, and our school community, ensuring our campus environment is welcoming, inclusive, and increasingly diverse.
