I was at Imhoff Waldorf School since primary school. My time at Imhoff was absolutely amazing. There will never be a high school like Imhoff High School. We were like a family: the support I got I shall never ever forget for as long as I live. I never knew that so many people loved […]

A Waldorf Education in Kommetjie, Cape Town vs a Public School Education at Winchester High School, MA USA In the beginning of 2015, I took a leap of faith and left everything familiar in my life to take a journey all the way across the world to go to South Africa for six months. Moving […]

My schooling at Imhoff, though brief was most certainly unique. Aside from my time opposite the chalk board, I learnt many important life lessons from the people I was surrounded by. In my opinion, one of Imhoff’s best traits was its diversity. I had the opportunity to meet and form friendships with people from all […]

I started at Imhoff Waldorf in kindergarten and reluctantly left in grade 12 to complete my matric at Micheal Oak Waldorf. Although leaving Imhoff was not what I had wanted, attending a different school allowed me to view my time at Imhoff through retrospective eyes. From this retrospection I came to fully comprehend the soul […]

Reflection on my year at Imhoff Waldorf High School I can’t believe my first and last year here has already come to an end. It feels like just the other day that I came for our tea party orientation thing and I remember exactly how I was feeling. To be completely honest, I wasn’t feeling […]

“Don’t cry because it’s over , smile because it happened” – Dr Seuss The strangest thing about looking back at an experience is the fact that you find yourself questioning whether or not you enjoyed it as much as you should have. You wonder if you could have said something differently to make more people […]

Lisa I have been in this school for eleven years now. I started here when I was four and I’ve never been to any other school. I am so sad and heartbroken that the school is closing down, because I’ve met amazing and kind people here. I’ve had the best years of my life […]

Carol Berry is the one who asked if I wanted to come and teach woodwork at the new high school after Benno left, and what a life-changer that was! I did most of my schooling at Michael Mount Waldorf so knew what the required projects were but thought I was too young to be a […]

I had been a parent at Imhoff Waldorf for many years when I was first drawn in as a high school teacher. I had opened our vintage shop, Rummage, when Carol popped in, we got chatting and before I knew it I had a second part time job as the high school art teacher. From […]

”Ter nagedagtenis aan…” is how you start an obituary or a eulogy or a death notice in Afrikaans. This is my tribute to an amazing school, a school where I have seen and experienced more care, depth and compassion, than at any other workplace. A school where I had the absolute pleasure of working with […]

Imhoff has become a home for me in these past few months. I have learnt a lot from each and everyone in the school not just from the children I teach. I work on a very delicate subject and it requires one to tab into a special realm and space. I have had the pleasure […]

At the start of 2016, I launched excitedly into my first teaching job at a large government school in the southern suburbs. While the teaching aspect was (mostly) wonderful, and my learners were (mostly) lovely, I found that I simply did not fit into the punitive and hard environment that was being perpetuated within the […]

I joined this beautiful, homely school in 2013, after teaching for three years. When I was first lured in by Carol Berry, I was reluctant. My previous teaching experience had been a rollercoaster and I was left feeling burnt out and in need of a break. However, I gradually felt myself embraced by the school. […]
