Beyond BWS
High School Placement
Brooklyn Waldorf School alumni are recognized for their entrepreneurial spirit, innovative mindset, and deep sense of social responsibility - traits cultivated through BWS's emphasis on curiosity, adaptability, and ethical development. Our graduates go on to attend a diverse range of academic institutions from top independent schools to specialized programs in the performing arts and technology.
Working closely with Seventh and Eighth Grade students and families, our dedicated high school placement counselor offers a valuable resource as our students embark on the journey of exploring, applying, and enrolling in the high schools that best align with their individual academic, social, and emotional needs. Support services include a Seventh Grade fall orientation, followed by ongoing meetings, conferences, and personalized guidance for families navigating this important transition.
BWS's well-rounded education, paired with strong support networks, prepares graduates to engage high school and the world beyond as confident, thoughtful, and creative individuals, prepared to succeed and contribute meaningfully in an ever-evolving world.
