Shining Mountain is a great school! I am the proud parent of a kindergartner on their third year at SMWS. My family and I were introduced to Waldorf education by friends; they spoke very highly about the philosophy and I was attracted to the idea of an education that understood human development in a deeper sense and adjusted to the needs of each individual child.
The school has allowed for my child to develop in the most beautiful way possible, at their own pace, really enjoying being a child and with a thorough understanding of social skills, morality and the world around them. We have also found a supportive community in staff and families; the faculty is highly skilled, responsible and I have experienced the teachers working hard to get to know each one of their students in order to help them with their education.
The school is run by a thoughtful group of leaders that maintain high education standards and cares deeply about the future of its students in relationship with a rapidly changing world.
Shining Mountain Waldorf School is giving my sons a challenging, well-rounded, authentic education. With integrated studies of science, history, math, art, and two world languages, Waldorf education is a modern day Renaissance education. Most importantly, it is also a moral education, helping them develop strong character. Their outdoor education program, yearly circus performances, choral and orchestral programs are outstanding. Their classes integrate movement, singing, art, and poetry. They teach through a block system, allowing for deep understanding of each subject while studying it for three-four weeks at a time. The families create true community at Shining Mountain. The teachers and staff work with restorative communication programs, and the whole school benefits from a social health group, and the established Living Community Principles for communicating and working together. At Shining Mountain, students are truly seen by their teachers!
I am a grateful alumna and am now also a parent of a child attending Shining Mountain. I have such fond memories of my time as a student: the depth of caring I felt from my teachers, the unique curriculum, the friendships with classmates, the beautiful setting of the foothills. Waldorf education tends to each aspect of ourselves as human beings: social, physical, mental, emotional, etc and I feel it has helped me cultivate a wholistic sense of balance in my life. As a parent, I’m again feeling so much appreciation for the dedication and loving kindness off all the faculty and staff, and the wonderful qualities of the families whose children attend the school. I value being part of this community, and my son is also happy and thriving at Shining Mountain. I have so much gratitude for this school!!
