Homepage | Why Waldorf for High School
Know Who You Are
At PWHS, everything starts with reverence for human beings, both as individuals and as a community. Our rigorous, inquiry-based curriculum develops compassionate, hands-on initiators whose joy, excitement, and wonder are kept intact as they move through adolescence to life beyond high school.
Trust in Community
The student-teacher connection here is central to creating an environment that is safe and welcoming for diverse experiences and backgrounds.
Our gifted, expert teachers are highly adept at guiding students toward their own original thinking, igniting their curiosity, and fostering their confidence in being seen and valued as unique individuals.
Navigate with Resilience
Waldorf students are uniquely prepared to collaborate and lead during this time of societal and technological complexity because their educational experiences here deepen their capacity for empathy and adaptability–through knowing themselves, they learn to understand others better.
Our students form worldviews and reframe challenges in ways that are remarkably resilient.
