The School of Quintessence Community is a nonprofit organization inspired by the principles of anthroposophy. We are dedicated to lifelong learning, meaningful self-development, and nurturing a vibrant community. Through education, celebration, and shared support, we seek to cultivate a space where individuals of all ages can grow in wisdom, creativity, and connection.

The SoQ Community is made up of students, families, educators, and supporters who share a commitment to inspired learning. Whether participating in festivals, contributing to school life, or simply showing up with open hearts, each member plays a vital role in weaving the fabric of our community.

If you’re interested in enrolling your child, we invite you to begin by filling out our interest form. But you don’t need to be a parent of one of our scholars to be part of the SoQ Community. Whether you’re drawn to self-development, community connection, or a desire to be of service, there is a place for you here.
