The Waldorf education program at Antioch New England was not a good experience. the reason why is…read moremostly due to a single teacher, Arthur Auer, that has too much influence over the program and is very incompetent and unkind. The year round program is awful and not worth the time or money, and I would warn you against it. It is a small minded program and does not prepare you to teach in a classroom at all. I feel it set me back a few years in many ways because of it, and I regret doing the program.

Wow, what a great place to share with your child! Hawthorne Valley is much more than a school. It…read moreis a tight nit community where everyone helps each other. It is the type of place where I leave my keys in the car all day in the parking lot. The type of place where I trust every parent and staff member with my child. I can not say that about anywhere else I have ever been. This school not only provides the academics needed, but the ever more important life skills. I know my child will graduate with the wisdom needed to get started on her own life.

High Mowing is a place that does its best to educate the whole person. How unusual is that? In an…read moreage where schools just seem to care about test scores, High Mowing sends kids out on survival camping trips, gets boys to Morris Dance around a May Pole, and has as high status accomplishments, hosting the 3 or 4 coffeehouses or designing the school's year book. Yea, some kids get into Wellsley or Cornell, and they did win the basketball championship 3 years in a row, but the school is really about the arts, being yourself, and doing your best. My two kids go there and love it. We're lucky the place exists and incredibly lucky it is down the street.

From the owner: High Mowing School is a Waldorf high school for boarding and day students, where talented and…read moreexperienced teachers draw on the wisdom of Waldorf education, and nurture the interests of today's young people. We utilize an approach to learning that is based on an understanding of the developing human being and the changing world around us. We offer an experiential and vigorous program of arts-infused academics within a small and friendly school community, where young people and adults have the opportunity to form authentic and meaningful relationships. We provide a complete program of humanities, math, science, world languages, fine, practical and performing arts, diverse movement education and individual interest electives -- all immersed in and surrounded by nature.

Judy, our instructor, was AWESOME! She was attentive to us individually and managed a large group…read moreof people perfectly. The studio is homey, (literally in a house) but we pulled up to the place and were greeted immediately in the driveway and told where to park to get us right in. We had called that morning and they squeezed us in. The care we received during the class you wouldn't be able to tell we were "squeezed in". We had many tries because it was our first time ever doing pottery so we had unlimited chances to get it right. All in all, it's a hole in the wall but well worth it for anyone looking for something to do on a weekend. Can't wait to come again to paint our masterpieces again with Judy!

Our children went to the early childhood program at this school (nursery and kindergarten) and it…read morewas a wonderful experience. We moved to a different state, otherwise they would still be at this school. The teachers that our kids had were caring and warm; kids got to do a lot of free play with other children and work on their social skills that way; the program also involved a lot of movement and outdoor time, which is so important to young children. Even in the short few years that we were there, I could see how being at the school made our kids more creative and gave them great social skills. Our kids still miss their old school.

I graduated from here last year. A very, very small school, so it can be limiting, but they offer a…read morelot of interesting opportunities, including a semester or two abroad at a Waldorf school nearly anywhere you can find one. I went to Argentina and loved it! Also went to Nantucket, Maine, etc for end-of-the-year trips. The teachers care dearly for their students. I've found myself well prepared for university. I've only completed one year so far, but I've been doing great and I'd credit some of that to Waldorf. I'd say that Waldorf isn't for all students (some people would probably feel suffocated by the small class sizes) but it can be really great for those it does work for! PS- I'm not sure who the other reviewer is, but he doesn't seem to have attended! Checking his previous reviews, I noticed he also gave the Empire State Building a one-star review (along with almost all the other places he's written about). You can't please everyone.

My daughter says that the best thing about her experience at Waldorf High School this year so far…read moreis how much she interacts with her teachers. This, from a shy introvert! She enjoys the coursework--no longer stressed and procrastinating at night--and the Main topics classes change frequently to provide novelty without losing depth. It's a small student population but she has made friends she really enjoys and sees on weekends. Parents are lovely. We were also looking for a school environment that would help us eliminate some of the social media overload. I highly recommend this Waldorf school.

My oldest attended kindergarten at BWS for two years. He was a student in the Sun Room. He played…read moreoutdoors in all kinds of weather, climbed trees, went sled riding, made "cement" in the sandbox, played make believe, and made many friends with similar interests and a real heartiness. Indoors, he baked bread, chopped vegetables, learned to finger knit, to sew, to paint with watercolor, etc. He still takes tremendous pride in the crafts that he made in kindergarten! It's a wonderful program with loving, wise teachers.

The kids get a lot of time outside in nature on the beautiful campus; gardening and nature studies. The students get a well-rounded education with academics, art, music, movement/sports. My kids never wanted to miss a day of school and speak so highly of their teachers, even to this day! Go take a tour and you'll be able to see for yourself the amazing job they are doing.
