Sunbridge Institute Summer Series – Waldorf Professional Development Courses Online

Summer Series

Sunbridge’s Summer Series is a longstanding tradition within the Waldorf community. Our weeklong professional development courses help teachers prepare for their upcoming year, while our introductory courses help newcomers learn more about Waldorf education and perhaps prepare for a Waldorf career of their own.

Summer Series '27 will be posted here by January 1. Sign up to receive advance notification!

What You Can Expect

All Sunbridge Summer Series courses feature highly experienced lead instructor(s) and special subject teachers, with each session of your day individually tailored to the specific topic you have signed up to study. You will have ample opportunity for community-building with your peers during your instructional sessions, in your open Zoom classroom space, and in your Google Classroom, which contains abundant amounts of relevant resource materials you can access across the following school year.

Please note that while we welcome educators from all backgrounds to enroll in our summer courses, our Grades 1-8 curriculum is tailored to individuals who have completed a Waldorf training. If you have not yet benefitted from one of our Waldorf teacher education programs, we strongly encourage you to explore this highly enriching course of study, which delves far more deeply into Waldorf education and teacher preparation than is possible in a one-week summer course and culminates in an AWSNA-recognized diploma.

Praise From Recent Summer Series Participants

  • (I chose Sunbridge because) I was looking for a rejuvenation/training that was more diverse and progressive.

  • I chose it because I know many people who have just loved their experiences at Sunbridge and I am now one of them! 

  • I feel like Sunbridge always navigates the remote learning world so nicely!

  • This was absolutely fantastic, all around. I must admit I was nervous about the Zoom format, but the teachers did a fantastic job balancing the technology with a real, human feeling, with plenty of opportunity for our own voices. Also, the Google Classroom is a huge repository for such good stuff. It’s actually easier to access than the method of the past. 

  • I’m so pleased Sunbridge was able to make this experience so welcoming, very well set up and easy to work with!

  • I commend the staff for how well prepared the online portals all were!

  • I found this course to be of particularly high quality, especially since it was delivered completely over Zoom.

  • I actually loved the online format. I learned a ton. I did not have to travel. I felt that I got to know the other participants. I love the collaboration, and all of shared documents.

  • The Zoom week was (surprisingly) wonderful and practical.

  • Is there really such a thing as too many resources?  I suppose it can get overwhelming, but I’m overjoyed at the amount of resources provided!

  • Keep up the good work! So impressed with Sunbridge and all of the instructors (and participants!)

  • Thank you for going the extra mile to make this a great and useful experience.

  • I especially appreciate the abundance of resources I walked away with in the Google Classroom, as well as the connections with the cohort.

  • This was my first Waldorf specific experience, but I’ve attended many professional development courses over the years and was genuinely so impressed with how this one was run. So organized, timely, tons of resources at our fingertips, really fantastic.

  • Thank you so very much to everyone for their hard work to bring such a beautiful course to life. It will live in me all year.
