Welcome to Waikato Waldorf High School
Classes 8-12 (Years 9-13)
Affirming individuality
Within the High School, all subjects are seen to have equal importance within the curriculum, and all contribute to a complete and balanced education. As far as practicable, students will experience every area of human activity and endeavour.
Content in each subject is tailored to meet the developmental stages of the children at each year level. We place high value on teaching and learning through the arts and movement as an integral part of all learning experiences. These activities help children develop strength of will and emotional literacy and support the development of flexible and creative thinking.

New Zealand Certificate of Steiner Education (NZCSE)
Waikato Waldorf School offers an alternative high school qualification recognised by universities worldwide. It leads to a formal qualification that opens the door to the next steps in their learning journey.
It protects the special character of our school. You no longer have to ‘fit’ the education into tick boxes required by other qualifications.
Students work towards achieving the CSE in Classes 10, 11 and 12 (Levels 1, 2 and 3) in Steiner/Waldorf schools throughout the world. This enables students to continue with the full Steiner curriculum and approach, even in the final years of their education.
Schools can assess students at the relevant year level across the full range of learning activities - academic, artistic and movement-based subjects. Level 3 with UE provides university entrance.
The CSE is available in New Zealand, Australia, the UK and Europe and is under active development in other countries.
