Highland Hall Waldorf School is much more than just a school for our son. It's his tribe, his village, his friends for life, and the parents and most of all it's the amazing teachers whom I his dad will always cherish. Alex was at Carpenter in Studio City and doing well but you could sense he was getting lost in that sea of children, pushed around too much on those paved playgrounds. And I had a friend who's 3 children had had a dream childhood at Highland Hall so I finally did the tour. And I knew we wanted in. In a nut shell everything they stood for was my way of thinking. Deep and full of purpose, caring and incredibly welcoming and personal. And most of all the same and yet much more of what I new was going to make Alex a really great human being. And so he thrives and has friends and relationships I can't imagine he would have at any other school. And Highland Hall's curriculum is everything he needs and then some. The teachers are unique, caring and most of all a team. A really dedicated faculty that really cares and guides. The whole idea of how the school is run and the diversity of the education is really worth understanding. Especially with the way the world is today. I am telling you do not miss the opportunity of having your kids go to this school. And yes it goes through to high school and prepares them for the tough world and the college life that lies ahead. Feel free to email back if you'd like more information from me.

Knowing our child is in the sacred space of the Highland Hall Waldorf School allows my husband and I to breathe a sigh of relief! The Waldorf is philosophy embraces the biology of children and respects a child's process as they grow. We have been there since nursery and feel so blessed knowing we will be there until high school! We have so many incredibly dedicated, talented and empathetic teachers who truly love our children and care about each of them. A beautiful environment that truly nurtures deep play, evolving ideas and true learning...as we watch the beautiful unfolding of our children

Back when we first joined the school in 4th grade I wrote this review - they do have homework now and are preparing them for high school.... My daughter has blossomed socially and academically here. (Not in the traditional academic way, since we don't have grades yet) When we came to Highland Hall, my daughter had closer friends in the 2 days she was here than she did at her old school over a period of 6 1/2 years. Academically she is much more interested in what she is learning and actually brings up things she has learned in conversation. She also struggles with visual processing and was not a big reader, but now I have to force her to stop reading her book and go to sleep. I attribute this to having a teacher that gives them free reading time in class when available. When she gets to read around her friends, it's like a book club. Who's reading what and if they are reading the same book, not to give up spoilers. My daughter couldn't be happier. Beats her crying almost every night like before.

We have been HH parents for over 12 years. We have two daughters that have had the joy of being both students of the Waldorf curriculum and more importantly part of the strong community/family at HH. I personally went to a very prestigious all girls school in Los Angeles and I am fully aware of the enormous stress that I endured at school and I didn't want that for my children. I want them to be able to learn not be overwhelmed by the rat race. If my daughter wants to be a doctor, and is already stressed out by school in the third grade, how are they going to make it through medical school? The beauty of both HH and Waldorf education is that the education meets the child where they are developmentally. Allowing a child to be a child while still stressing academics and not ignoring the arts, music, and so many other vital things that make a well rounded human that can think out of the box. Not just a robot that can rattle off a lot of facts and pass bubble tests. Coming to HH is the best decision we have ever made for our children.

We have 3 children and 2 grandchildren at Highland Hall and couldn't be happier. All of them are engaged, challenged, and happy socially. We appreciate the campus, with it's huge biodynamic garden, and the facilities like the gym and the science lab. But we especially appreciate the Waldorf philosophy. We felt that many of the other schools we looked at were catering to children with what feels like college models and al la carte classes. It's refreshing to be at a school that has such a strong core philosophy that recognizes the developmental stage of each age, and teaches in a way that meets them there.
