School Overview
Overview
The Waldorf School on the Roaring Fork is committed to providing a safe, beautiful, and nurturing environment where children can experience the wonder of education and learning.
The school offers a Preschool and mixed-age Kindergarten for children from 2-1/2 to 6 years old, parent/child classes ("Peas & Carrots") and classes of 1st through 8th graders.
During early childhood the child is performing important physical and brain development work, so we choose not to rush them with academic drills or abstract experiences.
Instead, the children's days are filled with both structured and unstructured activities that exercise powers of imagination.
Our two-year Kindergarten program prepares the children for entry into the Grades where learning and education unfolds from within each child as they progress through the Grades.
Mt. Sopris Montessori School serves 98 students in grades Nursery/Preschool-Prekindergarten, is a member of the American Montessori Society (AMS).
The student:teacher of Mt. Sopris Montessori School is 11:1 and the school's religious affiliation is Nonsectarian.
