SYRINGA MOUNTAIN CHARTER SCHOOL

Syringa Mountain Charter School, located in Hailey, Idaho, is a public charter school that utilizes the **Waldorf-inspired** educational model. Serving students from kindergarten through eighth grade, the school emphasizes a holistic approach to learning that integrates rigorous academics with the arts, movement, and a strong connection to the natural environment. By prioritizing experiential learning and developmental appropriateness, the school aims to cultivate both intellectual curiosity and emotional intelligence in its students.

Beyond its academic curriculum, Syringa Mountain focuses on building a tight-knit school community that values character development and environmental stewardship. The school’s location in the Wood River Valley is central to its identity, as it frequently incorporates the local landscape into its lessons to foster a sense of place and responsibility. By blending traditional core subjects—such as math, science, and literacy—with hands-on projects, music, and outdoor activities, the school provides a unique alternative to the traditional public school setting for families seeking a multidisciplinary and developmentally focused education.
