It is not about reciting facts or “knowing” the right answer. This is the age of AI. The three Rs in education now include the three Cs of Curiosity, Context, and Creativity. At Waldorf, our AI is Active Intelligence. Amazing Ingenuity. We embody Albert Einstein’s quote, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”

Small class sizes and close teacher-student relationships provide an optimal learning environment where students are seen as individuals, challenged to achieve high standards, and encouraged to explore their passions. Our goal is to enable students to become balanced, life-affirming, compassionate individuals with the skills and confidence needed to meet the future.
A day that starts with a blank sheet of paper—not a screen—unlocks limitless imagination. Our students don’t just consume—they create.
From crafting captivating stories to designing awe-inspiring art, and generating groundbreaking ideas, they are inspired to innovate, challenge the status quo, and think beyond the ordinary. Join our creative space to fuel your inspiration
High school is more than four years. It is learning to learn for life. It is achievement and life-changing experiences, critical thinking, and innovative work. At Shining Mountain, the Waldorf High School experience is built on four pillars: Experiential Learning, Arts Integration, Global and Local Impact, and the SMHS Explore project — a self-directed, mentor-supported learning program that culminates with a Capstone project.
How do you encourage individuality, intellect, and imagination? Or prepare a student not just for college acceptance but self-acceptance and confidence for life?
It’s in the Waldorf pedagogy. It’s in the classrooms. You can see it in the students and feel it from the teachers.
If that’s what you want from school, you belong here.

“I feel like one of the really important things that you get out of a Waldorf education is curiosity—curiosity to go and learn and explore what’s out there in the world. I fell into engineering and a path that I don’t think I would have anticipated, but having an arts background where you’re bringing creativity and imagination into problem-solving, there’s a really incredible synergy between those.”
