Mountain Phoenix Community School

A PUBLIC K-8 CHARTER SCHOOL USING WALDORF METHODS

elcome to the Mountain Phoenix Community School!

Our mission is to provide an arts-based, developmentally appropriate education that nurtures the whole child: Head, Heart and Hand. We are Jefferson County’s newest charter school; a FREE, public school offering an educational program inspired by the methods of Waldorf education. Our curriculum is comprehensive in scope and artistic in nature. Its academic components are aligned to state standards and framed within an artistic, creative and imaginative context.

We offer…

     An Artistic Approach to Education. The arts, drama, handcrafts, music, and movement enliven the academic curriculum and support deep understanding and academic success.

     A Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum and Learning Environment. We recognize the stages of child development and foster academic growth in an environment that values each child’s personal rhythm and supports the unique unfolding of the emotional and social aspects of each child.

     A Waldorf-Inspired Education at a Free, Public Charter School. Our educational program is available to all families wishing to participate in a Waldorf-Inspired education for their children. Active parent involvement is an integral part of our thriving learning community. Parents are encouraged to participate in a variety of ways from joining ongoing activities to school governance.

The school is located on 4.5 acres of alpine meadow in beautiful Coal Creek Canyon. We are about 20 minutes from Boulder, Golden and Arvada as well as the mountain communities of Black Hawk, Rollinsville and Nederland. We are currently enrolling students for the 2009-2010 school year. We encourage you to contact the school to schedule a visit and discover how an artistic approach to education awakens the imagination and brings wholeness and vitality to the classroom.
