We use The Good and the Beautiful classical curriculum for Language Arts, Math, and Science.

We also use many materials from The Center for Science and Culture

- The Discovery Institute’s Academy

- The Discovery Institute’s Science Curricula

- DiscoveryU

We use Hillsdale College’s 1776 Curriculum:

American history lessons from pre-European Exploration through Reconstruction

• American history lessons from the Gilded Age to present day for middle and high schoolers

• Complete civics and government courses for middle and high schoolers

• Hillsdale College-vetted book, online course, and resource recommendations

• Primary sources

“In every period of history, Christians have taken the charge of education seriously - founding schools, promoting literacy, and preserving the literary heritage of the surrounding culture.

To be effective in equipping young people to face the challenges of a highly complex world, the church needs to redefine the mission of pastors and youth leaders to include training in apologetics and worldview…It is not enough to teach young believers how to have personal quiet time, follow a scripture memory program, and link up with a Christian youth group. We also need to equip them to respond to the intellectual challenges they will face in the classroom.

It is imperative to broaden the education to include courses on intellectual history, training them to critique the dominant ideologies of our day. A religion that avoids the intellectual task and retreats to the therapeutic realm of personal relationship and feelings will not survive in today’s spiritual battlefield.

Creation tells us that children are made in the image of God which means they have the great dignity of being creatures with a capacity for love, morality, rationality, artistic creation, and all the other uniquely human capabilities. Education should seek to address all aspects of the human person.”

— Nancy Pearcey, Author
Total Truth - Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity

Developing Servant Leaders is core to our mission.

We use Scripture, the classics and primary source history documents (its events, heroes & villains) as the past lessons that drive us forward in our understanding of what wisdom and principles best contribute to flourishing societies.

We take the position that character, steeped in virtue, determines the effectiveness of leaders.

Thus, we study the character development (the formation factors) of leaders past and present, and develop a purpose-driven Rule of Life to support these scholars in developing their own special excellence as leaders in whichever industry(ies) they choose.

We study what character traits/virtues differentiated some leaders from others, helping the scholars to identify the high cost and the high benefit of servant leadership in societies, as demonstrated by Jesus, many of our founding fathers and mothers, and many other self-sacrificial leaders in world history.

Our Core Values are what create our culture at Mountain Academy.

Through the Art of Mentoring, the Classics and the Liberal Arts, scholars are enabled to discover truth.

The scholar is invited to act on that truth and in the process, grows in wisdom.

It is by thoroughly engaging in the classics and by the examples of great mentors that a scholar is inspired to develop the virtue to do what is right.

These are the necessary pillars for the cultivation of servant leadership of self-governing citizens who choose to serve, particularly in keeping and defending the principles of freedom throughout civil society.

We place a high emphasis on American history and the servant-leadership model from Jesus’s life & teaching.

Scholars will have 2 recess breaks throughout the day; one 25 minutes and one 60 minute break for lunch for plenty of outdoor playtime out in the sunshine and to create their own fun in a variety of activities available on the premises.

The last hour of the day (Enrichment activities) is always a hands-on, free-movement, creative activity as well.

Additionally, scholars will know that they can take breaks when needed and that we can be flexible in the learning environment in order to best suit each child’s needs.

Across disciplines, we implement the Socratic Method based on asking & answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to draw out ideas and underlying presuppositions.

Scholars will continually have grade-level discussions and tasks to perform as a group, as well as assignments to complete individually.

The scholars are divided by grade level into cohorts with their assigned teacher & aid.

Yes.
Scholars will arrive each day and will gather together outside at the flag pole to pray together and to perform the daily flag ceremony.

Yes.

Every morning as soon as the bell rings, we gather around our flag pole and have a scholar-led prayer time as our opening activity.

Stretch & Flex
Immediately after prayer and flag, the scholars engage in a 20 minute workout that they’ve lovingly referred to as “Stretch & Flex.”

The workout is intentionally geared toward a total-body strengthening and toning calisthenics program.
