A Mountain Road education fosters academic and creative excellence, ethical and spiritual development, engagement with the world, and creates a foundation for lifelong learning.
Founded in 1975, Mountain Road School is a private, independent, nondenominational preschool and elementary school, grades Pre-K through five. The school is incorporated as a nonprofit organization under a New York State Charter and is governed by a Board of Directors. The school is administered by a Directing Teacher and is guided by a Teacher Collaborative Committee composed of the Directing Teacher, the classroom teachers, and representative of the staff, the Board, and the parent community
Mountain Road School's philosophy of education stresses the importance of nurturing all areas of human development in the child as well as the unique pace of each child's growth socially, emotionally, and academically. Small class sizes and flexible age groupings allow these needs to be met in ways that are not possible in larger groups. Communication skills - so important in personal growth and so vital to success in today's world - are given an opportunity to flourish. Children feel their importance within the group and are guided to be positive members of their school community. In this warm, supportive atmosphere each child's development is nourished, and each child's potential flourishes. This is what we mean by Heartfelt Education.
