Mountain Song Community School

Mountain Song Community School, located in Colorado Springs, is a public charter school that utilizes a Waldorf-inspired curriculum to serve students from kindergarten through eighth grade. The school emphasizes a holistic approach to education, focusing on the integration of academic excellence with artistic, physical, and social-emotional development. By blending traditional Waldorf educational philosophies—such as experiential learning, looping (where teachers stay with the same class for multiple years), and a heavy focus on the arts and nature—with state academic standards, the school aims to cultivate well-rounded, creative, and critical thinkers.

The community at Mountain Song is defined by its commitment to family involvement and a developmentally appropriate pace of instruction. The school environment is intentionally designed to be nurturing and aesthetically engaging, often prioritizing hands-on projects and outdoor exploration to foster a deep connection to the environment. As a tuition-free public school, it serves as an alternative educational option for families in the Colorado Springs area seeking a pedagogy that values the "head, heart, and hands" in equal measure.
