About
An Urban School With Heart: Berkeley Rose Waldorf School is a vibrant, metropolitan school, located in a beautiful neighborhood in Oakland, California, with access to the greater San Francisco Bay Area and stunning nature in every direction. Our families and faculty are innovative and passionate about providing a holistic education for children.
