History of Highland Hall

Highland Hall Waldorf School was founded in 1955 in North Hollywood, California. It is the oldest Waldorf school in the western United States. In the early 1960s, Highland Hall outgrew the North Hollywood location and the administration decided to build a new campus on a hill in Northridge, California. The school currently resides at this location. The campus is divided into three parts: the Early Childhood Center, grades 1-8, and the high school (grades 9-12). Additional facilities on the campus include a biodynamic farm (including vegetable beds, orchard, chicken coop and beehives), gym, sports fields, wood/stone shop, blacksmithing, art rooms, science lab, archery range, and a small giftshop/coffee shop.

Sport

Sports programs begin in middle school for grade 6 through 8. Girls' volleyball, girls' and boys' basketball and baseball are all offered at the middle school level. High school sports include women's and men's basketball, men's baseball, women's volleyball, co-ed soccer, and archery. [2]
