Our Mission

Syringa Mountain School is a liberal arts and arts-integrated free public charter school, incorporating sustainable living practices and experiential learning guided by the Core Principles of Public Waldorf Education. Students impart meaning and direction to their lives through cultivating their intellectual, physical, emotional, social and creative capacities in natural learning environments. Through a supportive community of peers, parents, and teachers, each child is a confident, self- directed and engaged learner, invested in his/her own education.
