Story

Waldorf High School is a community of learners that fosters the growth of the total student through a challenging curriculum. At the heart of WHS is the teacher/student relationship and collaborative learning with a focus on critical and creative thinking. Our central aim is to build intellectual and problem-solving capacities in teenagers through discussion and dialogue. WHS students thrive in this environment where they are known and valued.

Mission

We are an independent, self-administered Waldorf high school in the Massachusetts Bay area.

Our mission is to provide a Waldorf secondary education both to students who are continuing their Waldorf education and to students finding Waldorf education for the first time. Our education supports the integration of the intellectual, social, physical, and spiritual development of our students.

Our work is based on the educational contributions of Rudolf Steiner and his insights into human development and social forms.

Our goal is to awaken and foster in our students:
-Clear, informed, and heartfelt thinking
-Creativity and inquiry
-Compassion for and interest in the world and all humanity
-A well-founded belief in their individual capacities and the will to use them.
