Shining Mountain Waldorf School is giving my sons a challenging, well-rounded, authentic education. With integrated studies of science, history, math, art, and two world languages, Waldorf education is a modern day Renaissance education. Most importantly, it is also a moral education, helping them develop strong character. Their outdoor education program, yearly circus performances, choral and orchestral programs are outstanding. Their classes integrate movement, singing, art, and poetry. They teach through a block system, allowing for deep understanding of each subject while studying it for three-four weeks at a time. The families create true community at Shining Mountain. The teachers and staff work with restorative communication programs, and the whole school benefits from a social health group, and the established Living Community Principles for communicating and working together. At Shining Mountain, students are truly seen by their teachers!

I'm a proud parent of three students enrolled in the Shining Mountain Waldorf School in Boulder, Colorado, USA. This community of families and faculty have helped my children from PreK-12 to grow and develop into intelligent, mature human beings. Waldorf education is based upon understanding that each individual has a spiritual life, realizing the world is filled with things we do not see and understand but is made available for us to discover and learn from, and encouraging our children to develop and tread a path of energized life-long learning and complete human experience.

The front range community is incredibly lucky to have a K-12 Waldorf school in our area. Situated in beautiful natural surroundings, this school is well-funded, well-resourced, and equipped with a collaborative, inspired staff. The arts and music programs remain strong even in times when many school are cutting costs in these areas. The teachers are committed to individual attention, seeing each student for their unique strengths and helping guide them through their challenges. Classes balance academic rigor with time outdoors, and robust creative and physical activity. And the oldest students (in the high school) display clearly the awareness, care, and conscientiousness that has been learned through this education.

Shining Mountain is a great school! I am the proud parent of a kindergartner on their third year at SMWS. My family and I were introduced to Waldorf education by friends; they spoke very highly about the philosophy and I was attracted to the idea of an education that understood human development in a deeper sense and adjusted to the needs of each individual child. The school has allowed for my child to develop in the most beautiful way possible, at their own pace, really enjoying being a child and with a thorough understanding of social skills, morality and the world around them. We have also found a supportive community in staff and families; the faculty is highly skilled, responsible and I have experienced the teachers working hard to get to know each one of their students in order to help them with their education. The school is run by a thoughtful group of leaders that maintain high education standards and cares deeply about the future of its students in relationship with a rapidly changing world.

I simply love this school, the faculty, and the community that surrounds it. Filled with integrity. passion, and goodness, the faculty are deeply committed to giving their students the best education possible - on every level - head, heart, hands, and spirit. I highly recommend this school - from its magical Early Childhood program, to its experiential and expansive middle school program, to its empowering and inspiring high school program.
