School Notes

Fire Mountain School is a small nonprofit nature-based, project-based, and play-based elementary school for Pre-K-5th Grade students. Our school is dedicated to supporting students 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 learn about themselves as interactive participants in the wider natural, social and practical world.

Low student-teacher ratio
Strong community and family atmosphere
Child-centered and thematic approach to education
Encouragement of individual development
Value placed on creative exploration and play
Focus on core academic skills
Beautiful natural setting in coastal rainforest
Over 40years experience
