About Hundred Hills
Hundred Hills School is a not-for-profit, K-8, co-educational, day school founded by passionate Waldorf parents, Whitney and Sundeep Chanana, with the unwavering support of equally passionate Waldorf educators, Terri Webster, Chinyelu Kunz, and Marjorie Rehbach.
The school's new and intentionally designed Elementary School campus will be located in Buellton, CA. The curriculum will be wholly rooted in the Waldorf pedagogy, which emphasizes academic rigor, creativity, and practical skills as the three immutable tenets of this globally-relevant education.
The Catalyst
The Santa Ynez Valley has long-awaited and long-deserved a Waldorf education that respects the sanctity and uniqueness of each child's EQ and IQ journey by - among other ways - teaching them "how to look but not what to see".
This learning model is arguably more important than ever before in preparing our children for a future that will reward, in all its forms, those who can Think, Create, Do, and Decide contextually, creatively, and critically.
