“You’re always encouraged to ask questions and be the center of your own learning”  - Class of 2025

Blending Silicon Valley's innovative spirit with Waldorf principles, we cultivate courageous thinkers prepared for purposeful lives.

    Our Approach

    WSP integrates rigorous academics in mathematics, sciences, and humanities with deep engagement in the arts, music, and craftsmanship. This approach develops graduates who combine analytical precision with creative vision, bringing uncommon perspectives to complex problems.

    Students experience our curriculum through immersive four-week main lesson blocks in daily 105-minute sessions, fostering depth of inquiry through thoughtful discourse led by expert faculty.

    Faculty Excellence

    80% of our high school teachers hold advanced degrees. Many faculty are Waldorf graduates themselves, combining academic credentials with specialized Waldorf teaching certifications. Their diverse experiences as researchers, designers, musicians, and entrepreneurs directly inform our integrated approach.

    How We Assess Learning


    Assessments measure depth of understanding, not just content acquisition

    Holistic evaluation through class discussions, projects, presentations, and written work

    Self-reflection components develop metacognition and learning ownership

    Emphasis on continuous feedback versus summative testing
