Mountain Phoenix Community School

We’ve been at Mountain Phoenix for 3 years. As a former public school teacher of 10 years I love that this school addresses the whole child where they are at and in a developmentally appropriate way. From the play-​based kindergarten to the beauty of the various arts being wrapped into everything in the grades it is a place where a child can be a child and be appreciated and respected as a child. My momma heart feels happy and content that my children’s childhood is protected and safe while out of my care. I love that they want children to go home and play enjoying family time rather than work a «second shift» doing hours of meaningless homework. There’s beauty and reverence throughout their day and a rhythm that helps a child feel at ease. The many events and festivals help build community! It’s a good fit for what we want and value for our children. If you’re questioning the push down of academics in mainstream education today it’s worth checking out to see if it would be a good fit for your family.

This place is amazing. My daughter is in Kindergarten and loves it. They are Waldorf inspired and are very close to the real thing. We sent another daughter to a private waldorf and Mountain Pheonix is every bit as caring and magical. I love this place. We are moving across Denver for this school and I couldn’t be happier about it!

This school has only money in mind. We enrolled my son at this charter school and the principle Dr Long assured us they had everything in place for our sons needs. His mother had three meetings with them and gave them all the information from his prior school. My son is twice exceptional and can get bored easily.
They state they are Waldorf inspired but his teacher was not trained in waldorf and had no idea about my sons needs. They waited till after count day and had the state money and then told us they can’t deal with him and threatened expulsion. No urgency was given to the matter untill after they were paid. No suggestions on how they were going to follow through on there promise of teaching my son was made. All Dr long cared about was filling her classrooms for count day and then she was more than happy to get rid of kids
This place is just a money making buisness for the owners. They ask that everything be done and donated by the parents. There main focus seems to raise money through a ton of fundraisers and charging fees. Non of our money was refunded by this school.
This was just evil to put a child through this. We are now having to search out a new shool for our son. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCHOOL!
