Live Oak Waldorf School was founded in Meadow Vista in 1977 and now serves approximately 225 students from nursery/preschool through eighth grade. Our beautiful forty-acre site provides a peaceful yet stimulating environment for learning. With small classes, dedicated teachers, and the time-tested wisdom of the Waldorf curriculum, our school inspires a love of learning.

Waldorf education is a developmental approach to learning, working with the physical, emotional, and cognitive stages of a child’s development. Our students receive a unique education, one that stimulates intelligence, encourages creativity, and develops practical skills. Waldorf education was started in post-war Germany by Rudolf Steiner at the request of the owners of the Waldorf Astoria Tobacco Company. Today there are more than 900 Waldorf schools world-wide.
