Waldorf High School Becomes Berkshire Waldorf High School
 |
STOCKBRIDGE, Mass. — The Waldorf high school previously located in and taking its name from Great Barrington has a new name: Berkshire Waldorf High School.
Now in its 13th year, the school, which relocated to Stockbridge, last year, attracts a record number of students from all areas of the Berkshires as well as Litchfield County, Conn., and Columbia County, N.Y.
“‘Berkshire Waldorf High School’ better represents who we have become," said Faculty Chair Dr. Stephen Sagarin, author of "The Story of Waldorf Education in the United States" and the blog "What is Education?" "We're a magnet for dedicated high school students looking for a balanced college-prep experience that also honors the individual.”
The Board of Trustees announced the new name, effective Sept. 1. Discussing the name change, Board president and Stockbridge business owner Teresa O’Brient said, “Stockbridge is a great central Berkshire location and a wonderful setting for our ‘Small School, Big World’ model.”
Berkshire Waldorf High School continues to accept applications for the 2014-15 school year.
Located around the corner from Norman Rockwell’s famous Main Street in Stockbridge, the Berkshire Waldorf High School is a co-educational, college preparatory school for ninth through 12th graders providing education that seeks truth, develops imagination, nurtures growth, fosters responsibility and honors inner freedom. A better than 2:1 ratio of students to faculty creates an atmosphere of academic excellence, artistic fulfillment, openness and mutual respect, with a mission to be affordable to all admitted students, including homeschoolers.
