Let's get to know each other...

Choosing Your High School

We know choosing a high school is an important choice and can feel overwhelming.

 

You are looking for a place that is going to:

  • Challenge your child academically 

  • Prepare them for college and the real world 

  • Support them socially 

  • Nurture confidence 

  • Build a deeper connection to this world 

  • Hold them in a place of deep respect during these transformational years

 

We are looking for students who are:

  • Academically, socially, and artistically motivated

  • Friendly

  • Curious

  • Open to new things

  • Well-rounded

  • Comfortable in an environment with close social connections with their teachers and classmates

 

There is a lot to think about and we want to support you in making the best choice possible for your child.

​

Let's see if we are a good fit for each other...

Come for a short visit!

- Schedule a School Tour - You can see classes in action, get a feel for the student/teacher rapport and class ratio, see student work, and talk about how your child would succeed at the Cincinnati Waldorf High School. 

- Stop by our Open House - You can meet our high school teachers and students. Join us for a better understanding of our core academic classes, electives, and school climate.
            
Extended Visit - Shadow Day

This is the best way for your student to a get a real sense of what being a Cincinnati Waldorf High School student is like. Shadowing students will attend classes, connect with other students, engage with the faculty, and participate in art/music/drama. Shadowing students will be paired with a current student to support them throughout the day and offer personal guidance. 
 
Apply!

Have you talked to us and had your visit?  Sounds like you are ready to take the next step and apply! Here is how:

-  Submit an Application for Admission. This application will include the following:
          ~ Application fee and a photograph of the student. 
          ~ Previous school records for High School admission.
          ~ Writing Sample (more information about this will come from the High School Director)
          ~ Self- Portrait (more information about this will come from the High School Director)



Once your paperwork is complete, the High School Director will reach out to schedule an Admissions Visit for your child (different than a Shadow Day). During the Admissions Visit, the teachers will assess developmental, academic, and social capabilities.

Admissions decisions will be provided by phone call or email. Confirmation of enrollment takes place when parents return a signed contract and tuition deposit.

Tuition and Economic Considerations
The Cincinnati Waldorf High School is committed to seeking a diversity of backgrounds and incomes within its student body and offers a tuition assistance program to help accomplish this goal. We are committed to helping families make high school affordable through tuition assistance. CWHS also accepts Ohio Ed Choice scholarships.
