A healthy education that prepares students for successful in life. Teachers are amazing, engaged with every student masters of their craft.
2/15/2018
We moved from Los Angeles to Boulder to bring our girls to Shining Mountain. We have been in Waldorf schools since pre school. We have now been at the school for five years - our girls are now in high school. It has been the best decision we have ever made. First of all this school has far more resources than our previous schools. Our youngest daughter who has been a slow reader had in school tutoring and support. The school also an amazing councilor who supports the teachers in dealing with an issues that come up. The high school builds on the experiences in the lower school. The students are all quite creative and capable of deep reflection on the world. I can't imagine a better place for our girls to be. I highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a deeper character based education wrapped in healthy active community life.

Many teachers are very intelligent, engaging and kind. However, some teachers are not as easy to learn from and not quite as apprroachable. Overall, the atmosphere is very friendly and supportive.

We feel incredibly grateful to have found Shining Mountain Waldorf School for our son’s early education. We moved to Boulder from Chile in July 2024, and as a Spanish-speaking child adjusting to a new culture, language, and environment, the transition could have been overwhelming. But the Bluebell c...

I would not recommend this school for early childhood education or elementary school grades. The administration cycles through staff, communication is poor and there is a general sense of disorganization. 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.
7/7/2025
We believe our kids’ first experiences into the world of education is so important in setting the groundwork for the love of learning and becoming independent in a new way for the first time. Choosing the right school for your child feels like a big, impactful decision.As a new family to SMWS, we ha...
