Foundations Public Schools is a network of Kindergarten through eighth grade independent public charter schools inspired by Waldorf methods serving children and families in the San Joaquin Valley. Its teaching environment will provide students a balanced education that incorporates the changing seasons, surrounding agriculture, community outreach and arts into the standard curriculum for a hands-on approach to learning. At Foundations Public Schools, staff, educators and families work together to empower each child to be lifelong learners by embracing and challenging them as individuals.

Founded in Fall 2010, Foundations Public Schools is opening its first K-3 school in Los Banos in Fall 2012 (growing into a K-8 school by 2017) and moving into Merced for the 2013 school year. Stay tuned for updates!
