I have three children here from nursery through the grades who are happy, healthy, and thriving. In a world where so many children are struggling, the children at Moraine Farm spend a lot of time outside, they eat healthy food, and learn in a hands on, creative way. We also have a new head of school who is incredible. I have looked at most of the schools north of Boston, and this one is truly unique. My children are not only thriving academically but they have a rich social life, and are building their character as they learn to care for the earth, for each other, and for their bodies, as well as their mind.

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.

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.

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.

I graduated from here last year.

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.

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!

Derry public school system closed due to Corona virus in Mid March. We have 2 children in public…read moreschool and 2 at Goddard. Goddard did not close, we found this concerning but did not say anything. We simply called and told them we will be keeping all four children at home as advised by local and federal government. Goddard acknowledged and told us to let them know when we feel comfortable bringing them back and they are staying open. Well, they billed us for the two weeks they were not attending. Apparently you must unenroll. There is no safety feature for an epidemic or any reason they will not continue to bill you. The policy of this company is ridiculous. Can you image any other company stating you will need to pay unless you cancel whether you use the service or not. And at minimum you will pay for 2 weeks after canceling? Try pulling that off anywhere else. It is wrong and apparently has effected many families in a crisis situation. So we will see what governing boards think of these shady practices of charging families when Dr.s and governments are asking us to stay home. It's no different than Starbucks charging $20 for bottled water during 911. And I haven't been back to Starbucks since. Needless to say our kids won't be attending this shady business again. But we loved the teachers!
