Enrollment
Enrollment in any charter school is a choice made by parents to participate in an alternative educational approach. Join a school tour before applying to assist you in deciding whether Live Oak Charter is a good choice for your child and family. Tours provide an overview of Live Oak’s unique educational program & school culture, and the commitment required by both parents and students to support this style of whole-child education. We look forward to meeting you at our enrollment events.
We are starting a New Public Waldorf Charter School next year on a beautiful campus in Petaluma as part of Petaluma City Schools. To apply to this new school for the 2025-26 school year, please continue below.
