WISC Mission Statement

The mission of the Waldorf Institute of Southern California is to guide and support current and prospective teachers of all backgrounds in preparation for Waldorf teaching that encompasses transformative experiences of artistic and teaching practice, collaborative work and developing an essential relationship to anthroposophy, the spiritual understanding and path that is the source of Waldorf education.

WISC represents a community of teacher educators and students who embrace an inclusive learning environment where differences are welcomed for the unique perspectives that they bring in cultivating a deeper understanding and appreciation for the evolving human being. We support diversity, equity and inclusion as a pathway to social justice.

Our goal is to embody a living threefold model of Waldorf teacher education through a collaborative learning and working approach, and strong, diverse community relationships.
