El Rio Community School

El Rio is a community-based school located in the culturally rich area of Northeast LA that is

guided by the core principles of Public Waldorf Education through the lens of Diversity, Equity,

Inclusion and Belonging.

We seek to cultivate a relationship-based school culture that supports joyful, collaborative

learning and leadership. Students’ curiosity and imagination are fostered through an

arts-integrated, culturally responsive and developmentally appropriate curriculum. By engaging

children’s heads, hearts and hands, we strive to develop free-thinking individuals with respect

for themselves, their community, and the planet.
