Overview
Fire Mountain School is a small progressive elementary school dedicated to assisting children in their ongoing work of exploring and making sense of the world.
Teachers and parents join together to create a community structure within which children experience discovery, challenge, experimentation, risk, failure and mastery.
FMS has three central goals for children: one, that they develop a strong and positive sense of themselves; two, that they come to see learning as an ongoing, joyful and self-initiated quest; and three, that they come to know themselves as interactive participants in the wider natural, social and practical world.
Anchor Christian Academy is a Christ-centered learning community and mission-based school, from Preschool to 8th grade, that equips and inspires students to thrive in God's world.
It is our goal to not only provide quality education but to also instill biblical values and principles into the hearts and minds of our students.
We have dedicated and trained teachers who strive to give each student the enriching benefits from a private school.
