We’re hosting an Open House & Community Gathering at our campus to mark a major milestone: we’ve become the only Waldorf-accredited school on the Central Coast, and we’ve officially changed our name to reflect that honor.
Our journey began with one mother homeschooling her twins in her backyard. That mother, Kim Wishon, is now stepping back into leadership as we celebrate not only surviving the pandemic and campus uncertainty, but thriving into something truly rooted in the Central Coast community.
The Open House will feature:
—Guided campus tours
—Local partner booths
—Student-led activities
—Food vendors and open picnic spaces
—And lots of joyful, screen-free play.
Attendees are encouraged to bring a blanket and enjoy the relaxed picnic-style setting. We look forward to opening our doors to new families, old friends, and anyone curious to experience the magic of Waldorf education.
