A Waldorf-Inspired School in the Santa Ynez Valley

At Hundred Hills, we believe every child carries an intrinsic worth that deserves to be seen and realized. Our mission is to cultivate that worth and guide each child toward a life of purpose and meaning.

Rooted in Waldorf principles, our approach weaves together arts and academics, placing equal value on imagination, creativity, and practical skill. Our curriculum is grounded in a deep understanding of childhood developmental psychology, thoughtfully designed to meet the needs and capacities of each stage of growth. Every learning experience is crafted to engage the whole child: physically, socially, creatively, and intellectually.

Our Programs

“I am struck by the fact that the more slowly trees grow at first, the sounder they are at the core, and I think that the same is true of human beings. We do not wish to see children precocious, making great strides in their early years like sprouts, producing a soft and perishable timber, but better if they expand slowly at first, as if contending with difficulties, and so are solidified and perfected.”

— Henry David Thoreau
