From an early age, students engage in singing, instrumental work, and ensemble playing, helping them develop not only musical skill, but also a deep appreciation for beauty and harmony.

“The world’s favorite season is the spring. All things seem possible in May.”
— Edwin Way Teale

What is May Faire?

Spring is a season of awakening — a time when the world stirs from winter’s slumber into a landscape of renewal, rejuvenation, and rebirth. At Waldorf School Orange County, we welcome this vibrant season each year with our beloved May Faire, an outdoor festival rooted in both ancient tradition and Waldorf philosophy.

Modeled on May Day celebrations that span centuries and continents, May Faire is observed by Waldorf schools around the globe. It connects students with the greater community and celebrates the rhythms of nature that form a vital part of Waldorf education. Honoring the seasons helps our students develop reverence for the Earth as a living being — one we both depend upon and strive to respect.

This festival is more than a joyful gathering — it is a curriculum event, reflecting the core values of our school. On May Faire day, we dress in white or soft pastels to reflect the brightness of spring. Children wear handmade flower crowns and weave colorful ribbons around the Maypole, embodying the beauty and harmony of nature. Families gather to enjoy music, games, crafts, and delicious homemade treats, sharing laughter and community spirit under the open sky.

May Faire is a celebration that unites us — with one another, with the changing seasons, and with the generations before us who have danced the same steps. It serves as a heartfelt reminder to express gratitude for the planet we call home and to cherish the cycles of life that connect us all.

Thank you for joining us in this joyful and meaningful celebration of spring and new beginnings. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday! ...

Join us for a beautiful and inspiring event showcasing the grace and depth of Eurythmy, performed by experienced and talented instructors from Waldorf School Orange County and Waldorf School of San Diego. This is a rare opportunity to witness the expressive movement art that lies at the heart of Waldorf education, brought to life by gifted Southern California Eurythmists.

In addition to the performance, the evening will also feature a curated selection of artistic items for sale. All proceeds and donations will benefit Westside Waldorf School and Pasadena Waldorf School, which have been impacted by recent fires. This is a meaningful chance to come together in support, healing, and beauty.

Experience the transformative power of Eurythmy. Support our sister schools. Share an evening of art and connection.

We hope to see you there! ...

We’re thrilled to invite you to the upcoming Grade 4 play, The Adventures of Thor, a lively and imaginative journey into the heart of Norse mythology. The performance is a celebration of the unique spirit and developmental stage of the 4th grader, where curiosity, independence, and courage begin to blossom more fully in each student.

Norse myths are an integral part of the fourth-grade curriculum. These tales, filled with powerful gods, mythical creatures, and epic quests, mirror the inner world of the nine- or ten-year-old child—who is navigating a new sense of individuality and growing awareness of the world’s complexities. Stories like Thor’s thunderous battles, Loki’s clever mischief, and Odin’s deep wisdom provide rich opportunities for students to explore themes of strength, morality, and transformation.

By stepping into these timeless stories, students not only develop their dramatic and artistic skills but also deepen their understanding of human nature and the rhythms of life. Come share in this powerful and playful exploration of myth and meaning—we can’t wait to see you there! ...
