A Visit to the Capitol for Mountain Song!

State Charter School Funding Update Greetings, Mountain Song! I am happy to report that on Tuesday evening, March 5, the Colorado House Education Committee voted 12-1 against Bill HB19-1190 that would have stripped CSI charter schools (of which Mountain Song is one) of Mill Levy Equalization funding. Therefore, this funding has been preserved, and we should not be losing this income next year due to this bill.  Read More Here

2018-2019 Mountain Song School Event Calendar Mark your calendar with these important Mountain Song Community School dates. Link to Event Calendar

As a public charter school, Mountain Song Community School is proud to provide quality Waldorf education at no cost.  Yet the funds we receive as a charter school are less than what a typical Colorado public school receives. At the same time, we are responsible for additional expenses, such as our facilities and maintenance costs.  The expenses associated with the building lease, instructional and learning materials, staffing, special programs, and field trips continue to increase each year. In order to provide the valuable programming that makes Waldorf education exceptional, we rely on community donations to reach our annual fundraising goals. Please consider signing up for a small monthly recurring contribution today.
