    "Our Son attended Waldorf for 5 years after 1 years at a public school. The curriculum at the public school was one dimensional, geared towards tests and scores. Waldorf was the opposite, warm and nurturing, with art and extracurricular activities. As an interim solution it is great. He flourished as a person . We contribute his self esteem to his teacher and the school. However, the school is lacking academics and some teachers are ill equipped to instruct subjects in the 6-8 grades. The school has one methodology; if your child does not respond they are unwilling adjust. Feedback is not welcomed and communication is poor. There are no text books or grades so it impossible to track how your child is performing. 2 parent teacher conferences are scheduled yearly and a hand written school report is provided in the summer. The school report is beautifully handwritten but the focus is the class holistically and how your child is evolving as a person. We are moving our son to a new school in 6th grade. No doubt there will be other issues. However, this move is necessary so that our son can get up to speed academically and receive real help in the areas that he is struggling."

    "We were very excited about having our daughter attend Waldorf High School It seemed like a perfect fit for her. My concerns began at the first Parent/Teacher/Administrator get together. When asked about getting progress reports on how our children were doing. We were told that would only occur if they were failing. Try getting into a good college with C s. My next concern was my daughter stating how easy all her classes were. Coming from a student that has always worked hard to achieve good grades this was a concern. Luckily we moved to Marin and enrolled our children in a public school . Having always felt private school was important to get the best education possible, it was quite eye opening to hear from most of her new teachers that our daughter was way behind in the basic s required for college. My daughters fond memories of Waldorf turned into a nightmare for her in the amount of additional work she needed to do to catch up. Other friends who attended Waldorf were forced to spend several thousand dollars to help their children score well on the SATs. Nice school, way below average on teaching and preparing children for college."

    "I moved my daughter to SFWS in 4th grade from a very well respected public school in SF. This was a great move for her for many reasons. She was immediately accepted by her classmates and has found the diversity of classes to challenge her in many ways. She is now in the middle school and looking forward to the Waldorf high school. She is learning 2 languages, science, math - both typical and practical math, reading and writing, music, art and movement. My happy child now sings at home as she is doing her homework. I also felt very welcomed into the school community. I would encourage any parent who wants to give their child not only a great education but also a deep understanding of who they are - check out this school."

    "The SF Waldorf school is definitely not for everyone, but the pedagogy makes for an outstanding choice for children and families who want a thriving community with progressive ideals. The curriculum is very strong in building a foundation for critical thinking and stimulates in children and teens the desire to learn and explore. My family could not have been happier about our choice, and my son is a wonderful, caring individual because of it."
