What is SunGate Educational Community?

SunGate is a community based learning environment for children and families. Our highly qualified teachers offer a full Waldorf aligned academic curriculum for children ages 6 to 13, Monday through Thursday from 8:30 am to 3pm on our beautiful campus in Chester Springs, PA. Parent child is offered for children under age 6. SunGate has an active parent education program, with hands on learning through volunteerism, as well as parent workshops in areas related to child development, curriculum, health and anthroposophy. Our multi-age social learning model emphasizes movement, nature experiences and the arts. Through a living curriculum, children engage in hands-on experiences that support the healthy integration of physical, emotional and spiritual development. Small class sizes support instruction that meets individual learning styles, and an inclusive environment for all children. Reverence and wonder are cultivated in all things through beauty, connection to nature, daily rhythms and the celebration of seasonal festivals.
