The Parachute: Wonder is a State of Grace

Signs of the Times

In this time of economic hardship, people are re-prioritizing.  Just when you'd least expect it, increased enrollment is being seen at camps and schools like ours, places that promote personal responsibility, groundedness, connection to the Earth, and right relationship with our fellow humans. People are realizing our disconnection with Nature and spirituality created problems, and Americans are refocusing on what's really important in life. Mountain Sun gives children a chance to form that all-important connection to the natural world, while also creating sacred space for children to find their voices and express their spirituality freely.

Mountain Sun Community School of Brevard is a Holistic School with cutting-edge teachers and a spirit of global responsibility. We are located at St. Timothy's United Methodist Church, in the beautiful mountains of western North Carolina, and we reflect the progressive mountain values of the region. 

Our Montessori foundation is complimented by pulling the best from other distinguished pedagogies, especially Waldorf and Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences approach.  

We treat children as welcome and worthy members of society. We recognize that children are inherently capable, creative, and cooperative, curious and willing to learn.  Treated with respect and dignity, they are respectful, enlightened contributors to their home, community, and the world, at every age.
