“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!”
