Site and Buildings
In the fall of 1992, the school was able to move from its first rural site to its current campus in North Davis. The new classroom buildings were designed to support the principles of Waldorf education and include many environmentally sound features such as rammed-earth walls formed of native California clays, natural cork flooring, natural lighting, passive solar and radiant heating and the use of plant-based paint where possible.
In the summer of 2010, the school added several new buildings. A two classroom kindergarten building, a multi-purpose building, and a new office building. The buildings are prefabricated purpose built buildings, rather than the 'portables' that are in use in many schools in the US.
