Mission:

It is the shared responsibility of the entire Mountain Elementary School community to provide all students with a high-quality education by creating a rich, safe, joyful and diverse learning environment.

We celebrate each individual's uniqueness and challenge all to reach their highest potential. Our community is based on mutual respect and inspires a life-long love of learning.

We provide opportunities for all students to expand their creative abilities and attain maximum academic growth in accordance with their individual needs and interests. We empower students by encouraging them to take responsibility for their own learning.

We pursue a developmental approach to learning whereby students are not strictly grouped by grade level but are given the opportunity and resources to be challenged and to progress at their own pace in a variety of learning methods.

We believe that excellence in education depends upon a quality instructional program provided by teachers and administration and supported by parents. We use our collective resources to create an effective, challenging and stimulating learning climate of academic excellence.
