"Play is the work of childhood" - Jean Piaget
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 an educational experience to their children that balanced academic rigor, arts, and farm work. As an established school with a 50-year history, we offer a deep curriculum, and are the only school in the state that integrates a working Demeter Certified Biodynamic® farm into its campus and curriculum (parent and infant classes through Grade 12).
Our Early Childhood Education includes Parent/Child program, our inviting Preschool class, and our engaging 2-year Kindergarten class
Our Lower School features a diverse curriculum of humanities, mathematics, science, and the arts to G1-5, and a realm of new subjects and ways of observing the world in G6-8.

Charcoal Drawing with Pamela Whitman
June 28, 2025 | 9am-3pm
This workshop led by artist Pamela Whitman is an opportunity to deepen our understanding and experience of light and darkness and explore the possibilities for the use of its healing effects. It is a valuable activity to bring to the turbulent years of the mid-teens through adulthood.
Working with the soft and malleable medium of charcoal provides us with a unique artistic experience of becoming sensitive and creative within the realm of light and darkness – bringing depth, form and direction to their interplay.
Location: Marin Waldorf School
Cost: $175
