Mountain Phoenix Community School Foundation

Background Statement

Mountain Phoenix Community School is a Jefferson County public charter school offering an educational program inspired by the methods of Waldorf education to PreK - grade 8 students.

We offer:

- An Artistic Approach to Education. Well-developed programs in music/orchestra, environmental stewardship, drama, and handwork 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 supportive environment that values each child's learning style and level. MPCS is dedicated to making our students successful by understanding their personal rhythm and supporting the unique unfolding of their emotional and social intelligences.

- A Free Public Charter School. Our educational program is guided by the core principles of Public Waldorf education and is available to all families dedicated to this 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.
