Now Accepting Class and Subject Teacher Applications

An independent, not-for-profit school for children in early childhood through grade eight, Pasadena Waldorf is a welcoming retreat from suburban congestion, nestled in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains.

Our beautiful oak and deodar-studded five-acre site includes the stately Scripps mansion, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Founded in 1979, Pasadena Waldorf is a well-established, stable school with curricula and programs based on Rudolf Steiner’s picture of child development and educational principles, as well as the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA) Shared Principles. We strive for a culturally, ethnically, socio-economically diverse student body, with a current enrollment of 200 in kindergarten through grade 8. The opening of our preschool in the fall of 2007 completed our early childhood program, and we are working toward opening a high school in Fall 2012. Our active, mutually supportive faculty enjoy competitive salaries, a generous employee benefit program, including funds for paid sabbatical and professional development, full tuition remission for enrolled children, family medical and dental plans, and a retirement plan. We are fully accredited by AWSNA. The Los Angeles Branch of the Anthroposophical Society and Library is located nearby in Pasadena.

Teaching Positions, 2010-11 and beyond.

We are accepting applications for full-time, Waldorf-trained, college-educated teachers. The ideal candidate is friendly, open, and well-spoken, is fully trained in Waldorf education, holds a bachelor's degree, and would enjoy working collegially in a Waldorf school. Our teachers must be comfortable and capable working with parents and children alike. In anticipation of our first ninth grade in Fall 2012, we are also seeking experienced high school teachers who are interested in potentially joining our school.

Interested candidates should fax, mail, or e-mail a letter of interest, resume, three references, including most recent school employer, and a brief biography, as soon as possible to Carolyn Leach, Administrator.
