Desert Star Community School

Desert Star Community school is located in the Verde Valley, in Cornville AZ. We are about 15 miles south of the beautiful red rocks of Sedona and only 2 miles away from Oak Creek. Our rural setting grants us immediate access to nature.

The mission of Desert Star Community School is to provide an education that considers the needs of the whole child, develops the full diversity of human intelligence within each individual, and instills a life-long love of learning. The vision of Desert Star is to inspire and empower students to reach their full academic and creative potentials so they may lead fulfilling, purposeful lives and make a positive contribution to the multi-cultural society and world community in which they live.

Desert Star teachers will understand and address Steiner’s indications for the developmental stages of childhood while respecting each child’s individual abilities and rate of progress. They will strive to provide a child-centered approach to learning that will support development as it emerges and will meet the child’s needs for individualized approaches.
