Inspiring Education for 50 Years

Welcome to Sunbridge Institute, an independent, not-for-profit adult learning community. Sunbridge offers world-renowned Waldorf teacher education programs, along with professional development and general interest courses and workshops on Waldorf Education, Waldorf teaching, organizational leadership, and the arts. The teachings of Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Waldorf Education, are at the heart of the Sunbridge mission, and we are dedicated to the support of Waldorf Education in North America.

Looking to deepen your Waldorf teaching or leadership, or to learn more about Waldorf Education? Register for a course or workshop this June or July in our Summer Series 2018. (And if you are brand new to Waldorf Education, our June 29-July 1 Waldorf Weekend is just right for you!)
