Our Program
A Mountain School student “R.O.A.R.S.” with our core values of Respect, Optimism, Achievement, Responsibility and Safety!

Building a strong foundation in Reading, Writing, Math, Science and Social Studies is accomplished through a well-rounded, academic curriculum that provides opportunities for critical thinking, collaboration, and communication. Our highly qualified teachers and experienced staff collaborate to create experiences that integrate learning in and around our community and beyond, with an emphasis on the outdoors. Mountain School helps to grow children that are confident, caring, creative and committed to sustainability and service.
Curriculum
Our curriculum is based on the K-5 Arizona College and Career Readiness Standards. We choose and create our curriculum with the whole child in mind. Our goal is to foster an independent spirit and innate love of learning through a rigorous and engaging curriculum. Childhood is a time of exploration, and we celebrate the important work of making connections from school to the world beyond, learning about ourselves and others, and gaining independence and mastery with meaningful practice.

We’re Building STEAM . . . Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math, through a Culture that Values Collaboration, Responsibility, Leadership, and Strong Problem Solving and Critical Thinking Skills!
