"Very rigid. Works well for children with absolutely no learning issues, dyslexia etc. Otherwise it's a train wreck. The early grades,( pre K-5), are fine to excellent if your child gets a good teacher as they have the same class teacher for 8 years. However, even with the best teacher, at the onset of adolescence problems arise. They seem to have a very hard time letting children grow into young adults in an urban environment in this century. There is drama, art and music but no real creativity allowed. Parents are expected to provide a huge amount of practical and financial support but have absolutely no voice in school decisions. For the amount of tuition charged there are wiser choices."

"The education at San Francisco Waldorf School truly allows each child to fulfill his or her potential. Each individual is valued for her or his gifts, and the love for learning is cultivated every day. The students graduate from the 12th grade with a clear sense of who they are and the confidence to find their place in the world. My son reported from his university (after 14 years at SFWS) that the professors kept asking him how he was able to bring some many different perspectives to class discussions. His academic, social, and practical skills have allowed him to excel in whatever he has tried to do, and I am sure that is so because the Waldorf School and its wonderful teachers valued him for who he was, and allowed him to develop in all aspects of his being."
