This Is Our Why
We educate our students to seek truth and fulfill their highest potential, to impart meaningful purpose to their lives, and to contribute courageously to the positive development of the world.
Our mission inspires everything we do here at High Mowing. Each lesson, each activity, each tradition speaks to where the student is in their development, nurturing integrity, resourcefulness, and resilience as they grow from young children to young adults.

A cornerstone of Waldorf education is the belief that students learn well by doing — not just by listening to an expert lecturer or reading a textbook. The benefits of this style of learning aren’t limited to school-age children, though, and indeed extend to include those with an inclination to become Waldorf classroom teachers. High Mowing School’s Teacher Apprentice Program does just this.
