Middle School Experience- Nov 4th

Join us on November 4th for a hands-on Middle School Experience where you will have the chance to meet our amazing middle school educational staff, hear about our unique classes, and visit the middle school classrooms and outdoor spaces. For the best experience, plan to stay for the whole event. Open to 5th-7th grades from all other Fort Collins area schools who are interested in exploring MSCS middle school for the 2027-28 school year and Mountain Sage students and their families in 4th and 5th grades.

9th Annual Alumni Panel- Nov 10th

Alumni pose at Harvest Festival with teachers.

Join us on Zoom on Tuesday, November 10th from 6-7:30pm to our 9th Annual Alumni Panel. Attendees will hear about the transition from MSCS to different high schools in our area. Our amazing former students will field questions about how well Mountain Sage prepared them for this step and share general high school considerations from their perspectives. This is a wonderful event for any student outside of Mountain Sage that may be considering an alternative middle school experience and for all MSCS families, especially those of 5th-8th grade students.

2:1 Model Transition Information

Over the next six years, Mountain Sage will be engaged in a transition from our current class structure as a single-track K-8 with a "floating bubble" (three double-track bubbles throughout the grades) to a 2:1 model, consisting of a double-track K-5th and a single-track 6th-8th. We believe this will better meet the needs of our school community and the greater Fort Collins community.

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.
