Marin Waldorf School blog

Stay connected, hear from our leadership team and learn more about Waldorf

If you’ve been to the Marin Waldorf School Campus, chances are you’ve marveled at our magical, ancient Oak grove and our towering, beloved Grandmother Oak tree. Nearly 500 years old, Grandmother Oak holds the space for joyous festivals and school events and is the heart of our beautiful, 10-acre campus.

In our Grandmother Oak Blog, we aim to share the heart and soul of Marin Waldorf with our families and greater community. Here, you’ll find recipes, crafts, lessons, music, stories, and songs from our community, as well as a taste of what’s happening in our classrooms. If you’re new to our school or to Waldorf education, welcome! Please have a look around and reach out to admissions@marinwaldorf.org if you have any questions.
