Testimonies
“MRS truly has a warm homelike environment where each child’s individual creativity is nurtured. Both my son and daughter thrived at MRS and I am very grateful for the years that they had there. The school is set in 400 acres of woods, fields, streams, and ponds. My daughter especially loved her days spent out in nature, where she grew in her awareness and connection to local wildlife and learned wilderness survival skills under the direction of mentors from Flying Deer Nature Center, which collaborates with Mountain Road on their nature-centered curriculum. My daughter learned to identify all the birds in our area and was able to show me all their local nesting sites. She knew what wild plants were good for eating and healing. The annual theater presentation was always the highlight of the year. Both of my children were encouraged to express their understanding of the curriculum in creative writing and artwork. Even though both my children have graduated, I am still actively involved in supporting the school because I believe that the school can serve as a model for what child-centered education could be. ” – Karla Lehtonen
