Central Sands is a 9-12th Grade, collaborative, sustainable & tuition-free public high school working out of the core principles of Public Waldorf Education. Our learning community utilizes integrated curriculum to cultivate mindful leaders in an ever-changing world.
Our Mission
Drawing inspiration from Waldorf pedagogy, we seek to create a learning community that fosters individual growth through the processes of thinking, feeling, and willing. Thinking processes will be developed through knowledge based learning and integrated curriculum. With an emphasis on process over product, and the utilization of self-assessment, students will develop self-motivation and a growth mindset. The teaching and practice of mindfulness will enhance our students’ thinking skills, as well as their feeling processes by nurturing compassion and resilience. Through experience learning, our students take their knowledge and passion, and transform it into social practice, building their sense of will. The principles of sustainable education lie at the core of all that we do.
Equity Commitment
Central Sands is committed to respecting and welcoming all people. We most emphatically reject discrimination and actively work towards mutual understanding and positive engagement; embracing the principles of common humanity expressed by the Core Principles of Public Waldorf Education. Central Sands works to promote inclusivity and understanding and our school actively and critically examines our practices as a reflection of our changing world.
