"Here a young man or woman can be truly educated as a cultured, sophisticated human being. This is not a place of mere training. It preserves the best of old ways of learning while supporting the students as they engage actively with the contemporary society around them. These young people are mature and self-possessed, ready to make a real contribution. Where else would you find that kind of person today? I don't know another school of its caliber."

~ Thomas Moore, author Care of the Soul 

 

High Mowing is the oldest Waldorf high school in North America and the only one to offer a boarding program. In 1942, Mrs. Beulah Emmet, inspired by the work and thought of Rudolf Steiner, converted her family country home into a Waldorf high school. The old and charming hilltop farm ideally suited the warm, home-like atmosphere she sought for her students, and it even suggested the school's name (mowing is an old New England term for "hayfield").

Since that time, High Mowing has offered teenagers the unique combination of Waldorf education and community living (9th to 12th Grade). In the 1970s, the school formed a partnership with Pine Hill Waldorf School (an elementary Waldorf school now located just across the road) to offer a complete K-12 Waldorf program in Wilton, New Hampshire.
