In 2017, Pine Hill Waldorf School merged with High Mowing School, creating a thriving, integrated preschool–12 school that offers students, families, and teachers more opportunities. High Mowing’s culture is steeped in decades-long traditions that support a strong community life. The Parent Association actively leads an engaged parent body interested in supporting teachers and families.
HMS is centrally set on a hilltop among rolling farmland in scenic southern New Hampshire on 300+ acres. The Town of Wilton is only 1-3 hours away from a variety of experiences in any direction — the big city in Boston, MA; camping and incredible foliage in central NH; the charming New England seacoast in Portland, ME, or Cape Cod, MA; or great skiing and shopping in Burlington, VT. Travel a bit further to Montreal in Quebec, Canada, for a weekend with an international feel.
Southern NH is home to many anthroposophical pursuits: our next-door neighbor is the Temple-Wilton Community Farm, a long-established biodynamic CSA; the Center for Anthroposophy and the NH Anthroposophical Society offer many educational and community opportunities; there are two local life-sharing communities and a variety of alternative health providers.
HMS is accredited by AWSNA, WECAN, and NEASC.
