<p>High Mowing School is a Waldorf boarding school. I think they would not be disturbed by an applicant from a Waldorf school.</p>
<p>I think you should not underestimate the appeal of a kid from a very, very different background. If you decide to pursue an application to boarding schools, you should raise the question of how a school regards an applicant from a Waldorf school with admissions officers in the parent segment of every interview. Some schools offer visits and interviews in the summer, which would give you time to think of ways to approach the application, should the general response be, “we like to see extracurriculars.” I suggest you visit the school(s) you and your husband attended at the start of your process. </p>
<p>You would also be able to write very interesting parent statements about why your child wants to attend boarding school.</p>
<p>Your son may do more than you think. What does he do when he isn’t in school? Does he take care of animals or do significant chores at home, read, write or create things?</p>
