Students Help Lead the Way in their learning journey
Teaching Resilience through Nature
Everything our Lower School students experience is rooted in how to take risks in our nurturing setting where making mistakes is embraced as part of the learning journey. Our students are known, understood, supported, and free to be their very best selves.
The Three T's
A Common Refrain Heard Across All Classrooms
Try Your Hardest
Treat Others With Respect
Take Responsibility
“Our daughter just started at Mountain Academy a few months ago and we have already noticed how much more she is enjoying – and growing from – her new school. The individualized approach is just what she needed. As parents, we are so grateful to see her thriving in both her social and academic development. As a student, she is excited to be able to pursue customized creative writing projects and stretch her comfort zone in an extra-challenging math group. Thank you for seeing her whole self and meeting her needs in such supportive and thoughtful ways.”
