Sun Haven Waldorf School was founded in 2001 and is located in Roberts Creek on the beautiful Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, Canada. We are a Waldorf school initiative working directly with the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America to obtain full Waldorf school status.
Waldorf education provides a developmentally appropriate, balanced education that integrates the arts and academics as is promoted in leading edge educational research. Find out more about Waldorf education here and in our Links section.
At Sun Haven Waldorf School, we seek to uphold a high degree of excellence in all areas. The school leases its campus from Camp Douglas, which is owned by the Vancouver Presbyterian Church, and occupies 11 acres of forest, field and creek including a beach access. Our setting naturally combines with a Waldorf school curriculum to create a unique educational experience for our students. It is our pleasure to welcome your interest in our school and to answer any questions you may have. Please contact us.
Testimonials
It was a huge leap of faith for us to switch from public school to a Waldorf School, but after having both of our daughters at Sun Haven for a full year we know we made the right choice. Our oldest daughter, Maggie, loves being part of a small class and feels that she’s part of a school community – both of these things have made a noticeable difference to her self confidence. Our youngest, Molly, came to the school brimming with self-confidence and we’re finding that it’s being channelled in a really positive way. Her natural creativity and energy isn’t being squashed - it’s being nurtured. These things matter a lot to us. We appreciate the way in which the Waldorf approach adapts to accommodate the individual strengths and personalities of our children.
My son's love of nature has only grown since joining Sun Haven Waldorf School for kindergarten in 2008. The fact that the school encourages an exploration of and curiosity about the natural world only solidifies my resolve to expose him as long as possible to this education. And the fact the school is right across from the beach sure doesn't hurt!
