Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings, who are themselves able to impart purpose and direction to their lives ..... Rudolf Steiner.

La Vida

was granted a Charter from the State of California to establish a site based Independent Study Charter School using Waldorf methods. Our School currently in its sixth year and this year is being sponsored by the Willits Unified School district. We are located half way between Ukiah and the town of Willits at the Ridgewood Ranch.


Our children

now meet for class at the RANCH two days a week, and we now have grown to include multi-age classes with grades K-12. This school is a public Charter School and does not charge tuition. Our Development committee is comprised of a broad base of community members who are deeply committed to home schooling,and we give thanks to all who gave there time and energy to develop this school thru the begining stages to make this a reality for all the children that will benefit from this program.

La Vida Charter School

uses Waldorf method to support parents in creating a developmentally appropriate and joyful education for their children. We aim to engage the body,mind and spirit of each child to encourage their balanced development. We honor each family as unique, with individual needs and learning styles.
