History
Rudolf Steiner College is one of America's leading Waldorf teacher education colleges. It is also a center for anthroposophical studies. Programs at the College arise out of the work of Austrian philosopher, scientist and educator Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) whose innovative ideas and discoveries have inspired a wide spectrum of practical activities worldwide—in the arts, banking, architecture, medicine, agriculture, and care of the handicapped, as well as education.

Rudolf Steiner founded the worldview known as Anthroposophy (literally, wisdom of the human being), in which the heightened capacities of thinking, feeling, and willing are seen as key to unlocking enormous human potenial.

Located on a beautiful thirteen acre campus in Fair Oaks, California, just outside of Sacramento, the College offers students a wide range of full-time and part-time educational opportunities including Waldorf teacher training, personal enrichment and classes, workshops and cultural events. The campus includes a bio-dynamic garden and orchard, performance hall and dormitories.

There are also two satellite locations in San Francisco and Los Altos. The College is approved by the State of California to grant a B.A in Waldorf Education and Anthroposophical Studies. Students completing Waldorf teacher education programs receive a diploma in Waldorf education.
