Inspiring Education for Over 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.

LATEST NEWS: Now accepting registrations and application for April 26-27’s Project Management workshop, Summer Series 2019 courses and workshops, and all teacher education cohorts enrolling this June/July.

While Sunbridge has been serving the Waldorf movement since 1967, Waldorf Education itself has been around since 1919—making this year its 100th anniversary! “Seeding the Future” is a short video providing a glimpse into the principles of Waldorf Education, while “Learn to Change the World” is a longer, two-part film that looks at Waldorf Education more deeply. We encourage you to watch and learn!
