Nondiscrimination
One of the original motivations for the Waldorf education movement was to promote the peaceful development of humankind by nurturing children and families away from narrow self-interest toward an expansive world view. Desert Sage Educational Initiative d/b/a Heart To Hand School continues the active advancement of that tradition.
Consequently, it is not merely an act of compliance with federal law but our free, willful, and deliberate policy to offer Waldorf education to families who desire it for their children regardless of race, color, national or ethnic origin, gender, or to the extent the school’s resources permit, disability or ability to pay. We are an equal opportunity employer; in our hiring practices we do not discriminate against anyone due to race, color, nationality, ethnic origin, disability, or age.
May we strive together with good will
To form a community
Where the gifts of each one are acknowledged
And where each one does one’s best,
That the highest spiritual powers
May help us bring forth a school
Worthy of all children –
That they may learn to live and breathe
In spirit awareness,
Blessing the World with their deeds.
~Rudolf Steiner
