Mission
Message from our Principal:
What you will witness at the Mountain Community School:
A dedicated, experienced staff that put the individual learning needs of their students first.
The TMCS staff is committed to providing a sound curriculum that is engaging, challenging and fun. Our staff understands the importance of establishing a positive climate where children feel safe to take risks and are empowered to take their education to the next level.
Our students are kind, respectful and engaged in their learning.
All TMCS students are encouraged to strive to be the best they can be and have a great deal of enthusiasm and pride in their work. Extra-curricular activities are also part of our program. Students can compete in athletics, join the math team, compete in the Destination Imagination competition and more. We are always adding activities to make the overall school experience positive and rewarding.
Our school community is filled with parents that support our mission and all the efforts of the staff and students.
We have a high level of volunteerism among our parents. They have a vested interest in the school and work hard to partner with teachers and students, helping to making their child’s educational experience a success. We are truly grateful for the support our parents provide. Their level of dedication and commitment is paramount to the overall success of our school.
Happy, engaged students, a caring dedicated staff and committed parents who support our mission.
These are the key ingredients that make The Mountain Community School a special place. We are all proud to be part of such a wonderful program where children are honored and life-long learning is instilled.
