Vision
The Fire Mountain experience is centered around play. We meet children where they are and lean in to their individual passions, allowing them to explore at their own pace and follow their own path of interest. We believe in the power of child-led learning.
We support our student’s social, emotional, physical, creative and cognitive growth using the whole child approach. We use the Reggio Emilia approach as a framework for learning.
Grades and testing are not employed as measures of performance.
Fire Mountain students are curious, confident, and creative problem solvers that participate as stewards of their home place.
For over 40 years we have witnessed our program instill in it’s students a life-time love of learning. The FMS alumni in our own community are a reflection of the long-lasting benefits of our program.

Mission
We have three central goals for our students:
- To develop a strong and positive sense of themselves;
- To see learning as an ongoing, joyful, and self-initiated quest; and
- To practice stewardship of the community and the land.

Tuition at FMS is comparatively lower than most private schools because we:
a.) are a non-profit organization
b.) have a small staff and rely on parent contribution to maintain our school grounds and school culture.
c.) actively fundraise and pursue grants throughout the year.
