High school curriculum
Each morning begins with a 100-minute interdisciplinary seminar-style course taught by specialists, followed by 40–45 minute subject classes in mathematics, science, social studies, world language, English, visual art, music, dance, and athletics.
Education that goes deeper
Our high school develops well-rounded individuals who are prepared to lead with integrity and meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
Seminar-Style Learning
Each morning begins with 110-minute deep-dive courses taught by specialists over 3–4 weeks. This structure fosters true understanding rather than rote memorization.
Global Exchange Program
Students live abroad with host families in Germany, Spain, Argentina, Japan, and more — immersing in language and culture for 3 to 6 months.
Arts at the Core
Painting, sculpture, music, theater, and eurythmy are woven into every year of the curriculum, building creative confidence alongside academic rigor.
College-Ready Graduates
95% of our graduates attend four-year colleges, supported by 1:1 college counseling throughout the application process from start to finish.
Small by Design
With intentionally small classes, every student is known and supported. Faculty advisors cultivate the health and well-being of each class as a whole.
Character & Leadership
Seniors pursue year-long independent projects, off-site internships, and community service — emerging with self-confidence and a sense of personal conviction.

Hear from our graduates
Green Meadow alumni are successful in all walks of life, and many return for their own children to attend.
The breadth of curriculum I’d been exposed to gave me a sense of curiosity and willingness to take risks in my learning that many of my peers lacked.
In Waldorf Education, we were guided to solve problems creatively vs. memorizing facts. It is this curiosity, creativity, and confidence that allows Waldorf students to excel.
I value so much about my Waldorf Education, it’s difficult to choose one thing! The enduring friendships, how art was woven through every subject, the care given by the teachers.
