Hawthorne Valley Expanded Classroom

Hawthorne Valley School is Expanding!

By extending the experience of a Waldorf Education to non-matriculated Middle and High School students, Hawthorne Valley School is expanding minds, interests, and their classes!

This is an excellent opportunity for home-schooled students or local area students who have satisfied their Regents requirements to approach academic curriculum in a new and stimulating way.  Students may either enroll in a full trimester of standard course offerings, intensive seminar blocks, or art/handwork blocks. Middle School students may participate only in seminar and art blocks.
