Welcome to Summerfield Waldorf School & Farm
Summerfield Waldorf School & Farm is a top-rated private school located on a 38-acre campus in beautiful Sonoma County. The school was established in 1974 by parents who wanted to offer their children an educational experience balancing academic rigor, arts, and farm work. As an established school with a 50-year history, we offer a meaningful, engaging curriculum, and are the only school in the state that integrates a working Demeter Certified Biodynamic® farm into its campus and curriculum (from parent and infant classes through Grade 12).
