About the Siskiyou School
Learn more about us at www.siskiyouschool.org.
Now in its 17th year, the Siskiyou School is a vibrant Kindergarten through 8th grade Waldorf school with a staff of 29 full and part-time teachers. We are on a beautiful, well-developed two-acre campus in a residential neighborhood just a ten-minute bike ride from downtown Ashland. Classes range in size from 18-26.
Thanks to our board’s consistently sound management, we are in a good place financially. In keeping with our founders’ intent to make our school affordable for as many as possible, our school’s tuition remains on the low end, even though we offer a full program and support a full staff. Additionally, we maintain a robust tuition assistance/remission program that allows thirty percent of our students to attend.
Each year the faculty, in conjunction with the board and administration, sets new goals for the school. Four years ago, for example, our focus was on building our last full-sized classroom; that was achieved in the summer of 2019. As a school community we have always been good at finding ways to grow and move forward together to serve the children at the center of our work.
