Wildcat Canyon Community School is a wonderful place where children truly thrive. The campus is surrounded by nature, giving kids daily opportunities to explore, play, and learn outdoors. The teachers are caring and dedicated, the curriculum is creative and well-balanced, and the community is warm and welcoming. My child is excited to go to school every day and comes home happy and inspired. We couldn't be happier with our choice of school.

We absolutely love WCCS! The campus is stunning, and the younger children have endless opportunities to explore and connect with the beautiful nature surrounding the school. The teachers are exceptionally kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. We've been impressed by the school's commitment to increasing diversity within both the student body and faculty. We're also so grateful for the screen-free environment and the community's low-screen approach-it's such a gift for our children.As a parent-run school, administration can sometimes be slow to respond, but this also means families are deeply involved in shaping the community. The sliding scale tuition makes WCCS accessible to a wide range of families, which is another aspect we truly appreciate.

We have been happy at this Waldorf school from early childhood into middle school now. You cannot beat the campus setting - it is an integral part of the East Bay Waldorf education that makes the kids here so terrific. The amazing teachers, Waldorf curriculum, multiple subjects and outdoor gardening and hiking all combine to make this a really special Waldorf school. We drive the 20 minutes from Berkeley because it's worth it. The students are relaxed and happy and love learning. They have inner motivation. This school truly preserves childhood while giving the children a terrific, multi-faceted education.
