High School
Where future leaders develop the human capacities that AI cannot replicate.
Preparing Tomorrow’s Leaders Today
High school students discover new capacities for critical thinking and forming independent judgments. Their compelling interest in seeking out ideals drives them to contemplate life’s big questions: What is justice? What do we mean by truth? What will give my life meaning? How can I make a difference in the world?
In an age of artificial intelligence, these questions matter more than ever. While machines optimize tasks and automate decisions, our graduates develop the uniquely human capacities that will define leadership in 2030 and beyond.

What Makes Us Different
Immersive Learning: Students experience our curriculum through four-week main lesson blocks in daily 105-minute sessions, fostering depth of inquiry impossible in traditional 50-minute periods.
Real-World Application:

A Community That Sees Every Student
A small private high school with a big program, WSP welcomes new students who have no previous experience with Waldorf education. Approximately 35% of our high school students join us from public or other independent schools.
Our small class sizes and close-knit community ensure that each student is seen, respected, valued and challenged, resulting in a truly unique education, crafted to the needs and personality of each student.
