Ocean Charter School opened their North Campus in 2006 to serve students in kindergarten through 8th grades with an alternative to traditional schools. The school provides a Waldorf education that blends arts inclusive curriculum with multi-age classrooms, small class sizes, and an education platform that encourages ecological awareness, social awareness, and individual achievement. The arts inclusive curriculum provides students with the opportunity to enjoy such things as music, drama, movement, painting, drawing, games, sculpture, handwork, and gardening.

Parents love the Waldorf method that reaches out to the whole child instead of focusing only on academics. Students love their teachers and enjoy all courses. Many students stated that school gives them so much to do that is fun that is not like learning at all.

Other parents said they like the amount of parents that are involved in the school, making it more like a family environment.
