3/3/2021
I was really happy with my time at SMWS. I felt exposed to a really wide range of subjects that even my liberal arts college could not begin to compete with. I felt like I was allowed to be myself and I liked that my teachers wanted to think about the material critically and thoughtfully --not just come to the same conclusion. The cost of all the range can be a loss of some depth and you might feel the bite of not having AP credit during your freshman or sophomore year science classes but I think the trade-off was worthwhile even for someone like me who ended up pursuing biochemistry/molecular biology. I'm glad I made it out of high school still excited to learn and I attribute a major part of that to how SMWS approaches teaching. I think I would do it all the same if I had to do it over again.

This is a great, special school, with a few small issues. I think there's potential for growth. I would recommend this school for any particularly artistic students.
4/19/2015
Most issues that arise are dealt with on a small scale between the students, their parents and some member of administration. They strive to keep an open mind when dealing with disagreements and are more inclined to look at each occurrence as an individual and unique opportunity to address issues.

I appreciate the values and holistic approach to education at Shining Mountain. We have been at the school for 9 years and have 2 kids there. They teach the kids how to love learning, how to get in their creative minds. This school has been such a gift for our entire family.
