"Waldorf schools have forged a unique blend
of progressive and traditional teaching methods that
seem to achieve impressive results: intellectual,
social, even moral." Todd Oppenheimer, 'Schooling the
Imagination,' The Atlantic Monthly, September 1999 |
We believe that Waldorf education is uniquely suited to the journey of the adolescent. The task of teenagers is to discover their individual strengths, their unexpected passions, and their lifelong directions. Because learning at Waldorf always occurs on multiple levels--in the classroom and out in the world, with hands and eyes, through art, music, and travel as much as reading, writing, and discussion--our students have an unlimited canvas on which to sketch their identities and envision their futures.
The richness of our curriculum and the opportunity to learn with all our senses and abilities enable us to set higher goals.
We strive for every student to:
- Develop clear thinking, strong will, and sensitivity
- Find their place within their natural and social environment
- Discover the complex currents and forces that shape our lives
At Waldorf High School, every day, every subject, and every teacher is dedicated to these goals.
