Our three pillars -- faculty, board and administration, and parent community -- have created a mature school organization and vibrant community. We have an effective peer mentoring program and strong support for all teachers.

Our special subject offerings include Spanish, Japanese, Practical Arts, Movement, Eurythmy, and Music. Cedarwood Waldorf School offers a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
