The warm relationships that develop between teachers and students in our school are central to learning. Pasadena Waldorf teachers work with parents to support and develop this relationship in order to nurture each student’s enthusiasm for discovery.

Class teachers “loop,” or move through the grades with their classes, building a continuous and trusting relationship with their students, supporting the children’s growth and development. Through this longer-term commitment, teachers are able to develop a deep understanding of each child’s learning style and strengths, allowing students to fully engage in their learning.

Throughout the grade school, children are also taught by subject teachers in languages, vocal and instrumental music, eurythmy/movement, outdoor games, handwork, and woodworking.

"Our teacher discovered who our son was, his strengths and his character, and she respects him. I see such respect and kindness among the children at our school."
