Bullying Prevention Survey

In March of 2024, Mountain Sage was awarded the 3-year Bullying Prevention and Education Grant from the Colorado Department of Education. The grant will pay for a Restorative Justice Coordinator at our school that will help to deepen our holistic and thorough Restorative Justice approach to preventing school bullying, focusing on building a positive school culture, training teachers and students to manage conflict restoratively, offering parent education, centering social emotional learning, and promoting positive dialogue through circle practice. Each spring, starting this week, students in grades 3rd-8th are being asked to participate in a completely voluntary and anonymous survey to help us understand how our students currently feel about bullying at Mountain Sage. Families: please complete the opt-in form no later than Thursday of this week!

7 Core Principles of Public Waldorf Education

As a member of the Alliance for Public Waldorf Education, we support and follow these important principles:

1. Image of the Human Being. Public Waldorf education is founded on a coherent image of the developing human being. 

2. Child Development. An understanding of child development guides all aspects of the educational program, to the greatest extent possible within established legal mandates.

3. Social Change Through Education. Public Waldorf education exists to serve both the individual and society.

4. Human Relationships. Public Waldorf Schools foster a culture of healthy relationships.

5. Access and Diversity. Public Waldorf Schools work to increase diversity and access to all sectors of society.

6. Collaborative Leadership. School leadership is conducted through shared responsibilities within established legal structures.

7. Schools as Learning Communities. Public Waldorf schools cultivate a love of lifelong learning and self-knowledge.
