Employment

​Cedar Springs is nestled on five wooded acres in the Sierra Nevada foothills. We are part of a rural community with trees to climb and open spaces for creative and cooperative play. Although we celebrated our 31st birthday this past Michaelmas, we continue to carry an innovative and pioneering impulse that welcomes new ideas. We cherish a strong sense of community, a rich festival life, a commitment to compassionate and direct communication, collaboration, and the tenets of Waldorf education.

We are excited to be rebirthing a creative new initiative after a year of COVID-influenced semi-hibernation. We are enthusiastically welcoming colleagues who are interested in building an innovative, inclusive community in which children and adults can collaboratively thrive. 

Our faculty share a commitment to the indications of Rudolf Steiner and the developmentally designed  curriculum he created. We work through Anthroposophy to find the inspirations we need to meet the children of our time.  We welcome like-minded, Waldorf-trained candidates to consider joining our community.

Established in 1989, CSWS is a full member of AWSNA (Association of Waldorf Schools of North America). We are an Equal Opportunity Employer. We offer a competitive salary contingent on experience and qualifications. Employment is contingent on a post-offer, pre-employment, fingerprint-based background check.
