Sacramento Waldorf School - Fair Oaks Gladys Schneider: Inequalities abound amongst racist structures that prevent the school from imparting unbiased handling of personnel as well as meeting students needs. The difference from the early childhood, first through third grades to middle school and high school are astronomical. While the early childhood and lower grades have a robust and adequate program, the inability of the school to sustain and attract qualified teachers translates into the pedagogy getting lost. At the high school level, and penetrating into the middle school, is a drive of hyper specialization in subjects that demand college level rigor. The workload is immense and many students experience anxiety and learn to acquire perfectionism traits that color their entire outlook on academia and the way they measure their success. This is in contrast with the precepts of Waldorf pedagogy which is meant to educate people in freedom so they can meet their destiny; whatever that may be. If your student is interested in the trades after high school, performs average or below average, experiences test anxiety, or is neurodivergent, this is not the right school. The high school is similar to a college prep. I would caution Black and families of color when previewing this school. While their literature and outward appearance may speak of a “woke” impulse, racism and politics are deeply entrenched within the working system at this school. Unfortunately, the idyllic setting along the American River and working biodynamic farm is not enough to set this school apart.
