A Legacy of Learning, A Future of Possibility

We carry forward Live Oak Charter’s rich Waldorf tradition while honoring Valley Vista Elementary’s long history as a neighborhood school—grounded in care, inclusivity, and community spirit. Together, we’ve created a new home for inspired learning that reflects the diversity and creativity of Petaluma and beyond.

Whole-Child Education in a Public School Setting

At Valley Vista Public Waldorf, students explore core subjects through an interdisciplinary, arts-infused curriculum. From painting and storytelling to music, gardening, and handwork, every child is encouraged to think deeply, move purposefully, and grow compassionately.

We are a community of educators and families working together to nurture capable, curious, and connected young people — ready to thrive in school and in life.

Rooted in Community, Growing Together

Valley Vista Public Waldorf is more than a school — it's a community. We believe that learning flourishes in a nurturing environment where students are known, families are involved, and teachers are trusted to bring curriculum to life with intention and care.

Our school brings together families from across Petaluma who share a commitment to a rich, developmentally conscious education. Whether your connection began with Valley Vista Elementary, Live Oak Charter, or you're new to our community, you belong here.

Together, we’re building a school that honors the past, embraces the present, and shapes a brighter, more compassionate future.
