About the Program: 
Established in 1989, the independent, not-for-profit Westside Waldorf School serves pre-K through Eighth Grade. Westside Waldorf School is housed on two campuses: an Early Childhood Center in Santa Monica offering Parent-Child, Nursery and Kindergarten classes, and the McComb Campus in the Pacific Palisades encompassing a full pre-K through Eighth Grade program. Westside Waldorf School is part of an international educational movement, the largest and fastest growing independent school movement in the world. Waldorf/Steiner education is one of the most established and successful models of New Education, begun in central Europe in the aftermath of WWI. It was part of an initiative for social change by the reformer, philosopher, and visionary Rudolf Steiner. Today there are over 900 Waldorf schools in 83 countries.
