"The fact is that given the challenges we face, education doesn't need to be reformed -

it needs to be transformed. The key to this transformation is not to standardize education,

but to personalize it, to build achievement on discovering the individual talents of each child,

to put students in an environment where they want to learn and where they can naturally

discover their true passions."  - Sir Ken Robinson

It's happening here!

If you have never been to a WSOC high school event, never toured through our high school classes in session, never spoken to a WSOC high school student, or alumnus, about their experience, then we would love to meet you at our Open House.  Come and see where the Waldorf Journey leads!

Over the 25 years I have been exposed to them, Waldorf High School students have always made a strong impression on me. I am consistently in awe of their unusual confidence to speak their mind or sing in front of a group, their ability to hold conversations and have opinions that differ from their peers.  How unlike each other they are for their age. I remember high school being a time of just wanting to 'fit in', but I see these Waldorf students just naturally figuring out who they are, what is important to them, and honoring how different they are from each other. They seem to develop a distinct confidence in figuring out how to do anything they try.  These students do not just learn and memorize information in quantity, but they learn how to be curious about a subject, to look at it from many angles, and are encouraged to debate, forming their own questions and opinions. It turns out that colleges seek out these well-rounded Waldorf students, and professors are thrilled to have them in their classes. We are very grateful that both of our sons will have access to this education throughout their high school years. I have confidence that they will not only be well prepared for college when they graduate from Waldorf High School, but most importantly, they will be well-prepared for life. - WSOC Parent
