” Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility—these three forces are the very nerve of education. “
— Marie & Rudolf Steiner
Maple Village Waldorf School
Maple Village Waldorf School aims to create a compassionate and welcoming environment rooted in the traditions and the philosophy of Waldorf education. We endeavor to engage and nurture the whole child resulting in a balance of heart, mind, body and spirit. We strive to provide a full living education integrating academia, the arts and communal awareness in order to inspire, energize and develop creativity and a love of learning in each student.
We also place a high importance on contributing to and providing a positive focal point for the local community. Our school provides an environment that helps usher into the world well rounded individuals – learned, inwardly confident, responsible, and self-motivated – with reverence for others and their environment.

Land Acknowledgment
We give deep thanks to live, work and play on Puvuunga, which are the lands of the Tongva/Gabrieleño and the Acjachemen/Juaneño Nations. We affirm the Tongva and Acjachemen Nations and their resonant spiritual connection as the first stewards and the traditional caretakers of this land. Their strength, perseverance and commitment to the wisdom of this place is sacred and essential. May we each learn and grow through their teachings.
We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; We borrow it from our children.
