Davis Waldorf Elementary School is recognized as one the area's best private schools. Starting with our Waldorf parent child classes, children then progress to our play- and nature-based preschools and kindergartens which feature spacious classrooms and large open playgrounds. Our lower school program engages our students physically, emotionally, and socially in order to lay a strong academic foundation.
Our middle school program is academically rigorous with required classes in math, language arts, science, geography, history, Spanish, music, woodworking, handwork, gardening, drama, and physical education. Founded in 1986, we are located on five beautiful acres, three miles from downtown Davis.

Our History
Report
Davis Waldorf School (DWS) was founded in 1986 by a group of parents who wanted Waldorf education for their children. The first kindergarten opened in the fall of 1986 in the living room of a parent's house in Dixon, California. The school soon moved to a temporary site in a farmhouse west of Davis.
Curriculum
Report
Waldorf curriculum unfolds throughout the stages of childhood development to provide a rich, dynamic, and multi-faceted education. In the grades classes, each students' day is filled with different experiences and activities that encourage engagement and development of the "head, heart and hands." A child's day is filled with movement, music, mathematics, composition, drama, storytelling, painting, and creating!
