Highland Hall Waldorf School – Southern California
(Northridge, CA – a suburb of Los Angeles)

Our beautiful 11-acre campus sits atop a grassy hill in a scenic neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley. Our children learn and play surrounded by lush grounds and a variety of trees, with ample space for nature walks. We have a bio-dynamic garden and an orchard where the children learn to cultivate fruits, vegetables, and other plants. Our campus also has a spacious grassy playing field and gymnasium where the children enjoy a variety of physical activities.

Established in 1955, Highland Hall was the West Coast’s first Waldorf school. Serving children from nursery to 12th grade, we are a solidly established school determined to be exemplary in providing Waldorf education, in modeling self governance, and in fostering healthy relationships and a spirit of service to others. Highland Hall faculty continually strives to recreate our school to meet the needs of our children and families.

We are fortunate to have The Waldorf Institute of Southern California (WISC) on our campus, offering teacher education programs and professional development workshops, events and summer courses.

We invite you to bring your talent, ideas and energy as we prepare today’s children for the ever-challenging needs of the future. Highland Hall is currently seeking qualified candidates for the following key position.
