The Great Barrington Waldorf High School will be closed for the first three weeks of April, but that doesn’t mean the students won’t be busy and learning. Ninth and 10th grade students—joined by some older students who have not traveled in the past—will travel to Munich, Germany, or Cali, Colombia, to visit Waldorf schools there. They will live with families in these cities, visit museums and other sites, and attend classes as part of an important cultural exchange.
Other Juniors and Seniors will spend time on projects or internships that get them out in the world. This year, these include electrical engineering, pottery, fitness, stone masonry, truck repair, and early childhood teaching.
Students will report on their travel and work at a dinner to honor the Senior class on May 20, 2011.
