A CHRISTIAN ACADEMY: LEARNING IS THEIR JOURNEY.

Let them navigate. Push them to explore. Watch them discover. Encourage their questions. Allow them to struggle. Support their thinking and let them soar! This is what we believe a Christian Academy should be.

MOUNTAIN HOUSE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY

Mountain House has grown out of a yearning from parents who want to give more to their children. More than traditional schools can/were/do give to their students. By creating an environment that fosters passion, critical-thinking, the opportunity to fail, and learn real life skills that help equip your children for what the future can hold for them. 

We believe that children are natural learners who need mentors to inspire them to explore rather than dictate an educational path that the learner isn’t passionate about. As a Christian Academy, our mentors will seek to guide, bestow knowledge, encourage deep thinking and let our learners play an active role in their education, discovery and treasuring their God-given talents. 

LEARNING TOGETHER

We’ve designed a learning environment in our studio that will inspire and empower children to take charge of their learning because they want to.

Learners at Mountain House learn together in mixed-ages pods, bringing the classic one room schoolhouse into the modern age. Children will learn to mentor and be mentored by one another. Our ability-based groupings will better support or challenge your child and meet them wherever they are.

DAILY LIFE

Real life isn’t predictable or something that comes with an instruction manual. Those who work toward their own solutions to any problem, (making mistakes along the way), don’t spend their lives waiting to be told what to do next. 

OUR CURRICULUM

Through deliberate practice in ability based groups, learners spend mornings working on core foundational skills. This is literacy and math.

Critical thinking + question asking
