Spirituality:
Camellia Waldorf School actively welcomes students, faculty, and staff of all faiths and creeds. We respect and support all individuals' spiritual beliefs and practices. We strive to develop the mind, body, and spirit of the child, encouraging in the process, the child's spiritual freedom and growth. As in every Waldorf school, our teaching works toward this aim by drawing on the insights into human development pioneered by Rudolf Steiner.
The initial impulse for Camellia Waldorf School arose in the mid-1980's when Sacramento Waldorf School (in Fair Oaks) found itself with full classes and waiting lists. Teachers at that school observed that several families were making long commutes from various Sacramento neighborhoods, and the suggestion was made that a new Waldorf school be formed to meet the needs of families living closer to downtown.
The Waldorf Community:
Camellia Waldorf School offers each parent the opportunity to become part of a community that has heart and purpose. There are a number of ways to become involved. Your interests and talents can lead you.
