History
In September 1979, San Francisco Waldorf School Association inaugurated the school, which welcomed the children at 325 Arguello Boulevard in the historic Campfire Girls Building under the pedagogical direction of R. Monique Grund. San Francisco Waldorf School's kindergarten began with a founding group of eighteen parents and grew quickly. In August 1980, San Francisco Waldorf School moved to its present grade school location at 2938 Washington Street. One kindergarten, two teachers, and eighteen very dedicated families grew into our present offering of parenting classes, a nursery program, three kindergartens, grades one through twelve--and over four hundred children with support from 80+ faculty and staff.
