Golden Valley Charter School is a tuition-free K-8 public charter school inspired by Waldorf education serving the greater Sacramento area. As a community of teachers and families, they seek to nourish and educate the whole child—head, heart, and hands—by stimulating the intellect, fostering wonder and respect, and developing the child’s active will.

Dedicated faculty and staff are committed to Waldorf educational values and ongoing Waldorf training. Kindergarten and grades teachers hold a California credential and receive on-site mentoring by master Waldorf teachers. We are deeply commited to the reformation of public education through the charter school movement.

Charter schools are public schools which are endowed with the freedom to employ innovative teaching methods, are responsive to students’ needs and are held accountable for student achievement. We offer this through our curriculum inspired by Waldorf education.
