Extracurricular/multidiscliplinary Programs

The Mountain Community School will also offer many multidisciplinary and extracurricular programs to enhance and supplement the educational experience. We believe that children need a sense of community and self-worth to learn effectively. Students at The Mountain Community School will be expected to participate in service projects within the school and local community. Students at upper grade levels will take an active role in tutoring and modeling behavior for the younger children.

We plan to take advantage of such extracurricular opportunities as Odyssey of the Mind, Science Fair, Science Stars, conflict resolution, and scholastic chess. The Enrichment and Enhancement programs offered during intercessions will also provide our students with exposure to a wide range of subjects and experiences beyond the regular classroom.

A healthy mind and a healthy body are both required for successful learning. We will integrate a health curriculum which will focus on healthy life-style choices and safety issues which are grade appropriate. Time will be allowed each day for children to engage in physical activity, both structured and free form (i.e. recess). Students will be encouraged to participate in sports programs offered through the Henderson County Parks and Recreation Department and other local organizations.
