Sunbridge Institute is an independent, non-profit educational organi-zation offering programs and courses in support of Waldorf Education. Our classes incorporate academic content, artistic exploration, and collaborative learn-ing, with a myriad of opportunities available for students to engage in social and cultural activities outside the classroom. Sunbridge is located 30 miles northwest of NYC on the beautiful 140-acre campus of the Threefold Educational Center, a community founded on the ideals of Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Waldorf Education.

In addition to accepting registrations for Summer Series 2017 courses and workshops, applications are currently being accepted for our low-residency teacher education programs enrolling this June/July in Waldorf Elementary Teaching, Waldorf Grades 1-12 World Language Teaching, and Waldorf Early Childhood Completion Track. Financial aid is available for program students, and Early Childhood and Elementary program students have the option to earn a fully-accredited SUNY MEd degree.
