High Mowing School Private Boarding School – Wilton , New Hampshire High Mowing School is an independent private, coeducational, day and boarding school (grades 9 – 12), located in Wilton, New Hampshire, in the United States. The only Waldorf boarding school in the US, High Mowing engages imagination in the learning process; developing individual creative and analytical skills. High Mowing School aims to ”educate artistically through dynamic, transformative activity that resonates with the developmental stages of adolescence and the unique development of each individual.” Each student is encouraged to explore widely and to develop new capacities and skills. A first-time musician may end up playing in a jazz ensemble, or someone who has never hiked a trail may become expert in wilderness survival.
Dormitories and Student Residences Starting with a desk, a raised twin bed, a dresser, and closet, students fashion their rooms to reflect their own personalities. In each dorm, students gather in the common space to hang out, play instruments or enjoy a game of pool. Each wing in the dorm has its own bathroom, with private showers and toilets. Dorm rooms may be shared or private, depending on a number of factors. Seniors have their own rooms, unless they choose otherwise.
