From High Mowing School
Home to about 300 students in Preschool through Grade 12, our school is small. Yet it is not our size that matters most, but the principles upon which our school was founded and the values that inspire and inform our curriculum and our work with students. In our rapidly evolving world where speed and conflict seem to predominate, we believe in and stand for perennial values. We believe children deserve the fullness of their childhood. We believe students’ capacities should be patiently nurtured. We believe that each individual child has a unique destiny to fulfill and that as educators we are in service to their intention. We believe that human beings hold a special place and commensurate responsibility in the world, and we strive to guide students through the discovery, appreciation, and care for every aspect of being human.

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!

I attended High Mowing my freshman through most of my junior before departing for personal reasons, I now work on staff in the maintenance/facilities department. I can truly say its like no other school. being derived from the Waldorf style of teaching the methods of teaching are unorthodox in that they're more hands on and engaging with the subjects they're teaching. being mainly an arts school promoting free expression and creativity the sports programs are surely lacking and while the food is for the most part organic sometimes the meals can be repetitive and bland but it was and is for me an experience with far more positives than negatives and I would highly recommend it if you're looking for an arts school with a culture and atmosphere all its own.
