Shining Mountain Waldorf School fosters a truly exceptional community of parents and educators, embodying the spirit of the saying, "It takes a village to raise a child." The support, collaboration, and shared commitment to the well-being and growth of each student create a nurturing environment where children can thrive both academically and personally.

Shining Mountain is such a gem! My daughter thrives here. From gardening, math games, multiple foreign languages and strings class, she gets a well-rounded education that supports the whole child! Let's not forget hand work, too! One of her favorite classes! She's supported, nourished, challenged and is thriving. All this on such a beautiful campus too!! I can't imagine a better school. What an incredible community. It has it all!

Your child's education is completely depended on teacher assignments and for elementary school,...

A nurturing community is formed around each child to help them grow and develop to their full potential.

Choosing the right school for your child feels like a big, impactful decision.As a new family to SMWS, we ha...
