“My family LOVES Mountain School! We have four children attending. The teachers are caring and attentive. The administration knows each child and family by name. There is a focus on experiential learning… The staff works as a team to best build each student as a whole child. There is a focus on values and parents are encouraged to take part in their child’s educational experience. I am so happy my children get to attend Mountain School. They love going to school!”

“We are so fortunate to be part of this school and community.   It has been the best fit for my son and I wish we had been able to move him earlier in his schooling. So thankful we found this school!”
