A K-8 Arts-Integrated Public Charter School

Inspired by Waldorf Education and Sustainable Living

Harvest Festival Sept 26th

This amazing community festival is a celebration of season, harvest, and togetherness. We gather to recognize our striving, both as individuals and as a community, and ignite the light of all that is true and good so that it may radiate all through the coming winter. The children perform the Dragon Pageant and we celebrate the fruits of the summer by eating soup made with vegetables from the school garden and prepared by the students, fresh bread baked by members of our community, and fresh apples donated by families. You can learn more about this wonderful event, including songs you will hear and ways you can celebrate at home, on the Harvest Festival page of our website.

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.
