I joined High Mowing School in my junior year. What I took away most from my two years at the school was the feeling of community. High Mowing is a Waldorf school, and the students there seemed to feel passionate about the Waldorf traditions and values that the school has. High Mowing is not only one of very few Waldorf boarding schools, it is also home to students who play in the Black Rock Football club, which brings students who are passionate about soccer from all over the world to the small New Hampshire school. I loved having the Black Rock students at school, and I was able to make friends and connections with people I never would have otherwise met.
My parents, my siblings, my children & I all attended High Mowing. We have a deep love for the place and I want to tell you why.
High Mowing is a great place to be yourself... It is a supportive community where young people can find their true selves without pressure to conform, while gaining a well-rounded education. On a beautiful 300-acre hilltop campus, the diverse student population has access to strong academic programs, fine arts, hand work, music, language, sports, naturalist, circus arts programs, & more. It's a transformative community of people, young & old, where all are valued & education is the mission.
Like most schools, you get out of it what you put into it. While colleges love High Mowing students for their creativity & independent thinking, the unique experiential education prepares students for whatever path they may choose to follow. Alums include farmers & lawyers, artists & engineers, film makers & educators, bankers & Cirque du Soleil artists.

Over twenty years after graduating from High Mowing, I find the community of the school as strong as ever, carrying on rich traditions with a diverse international and multicultural group of students. The campus, already unparalleled for natural beauty on its pastoral New England hilltop, continues to grow, the faculty and staff continue to impress in experience and dedication, and I continue to be amazed by quality of the students that High Mowing graduates year after year.
Young people with aspirations in the arts, liberal arts, sciences, technology, and business benefit from the flexibility of the curriculum and resources available to pursue studies in these areas virtually without limitation. The school has expanded, and is now offering pre-K through twelfth grade, and has launched myriad new educational, artistic, and athletic programs in recent years. I'm envious of the young people attending High Mowing today!
