Fire Mountain School invites you to their open house Tuesday, June 5, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the school in Falcon Cove.

Prospective families and community members interested in learning more about the school can meet teachers, tour the building and grounds, and enjoy good food and conversation. Children are, of course, welcome!

Fire Mountain School emphasizes communication, compromise, corporation, and commitment. Students help with classroom jobs and work together to take responsibility for themselves and their school. Family participation is a cornerstone of FMS. We benefit from the skills and services each family brings to our school community.

We will be showcasing a new program starting this fall at FMS. The Intuitive Arts Program recognizes and nurtures individual creative expression through music, writing, visual arts, dramatic arts, and healing arts.

This program will help to build student confidence and encourage their creative exploration and evolution. One day a week, a variety of art teachers with diverse backgrounds and approaches will be offering their skills to the classroom and encouraging creative self-expression. FMS will be integrating these ideas into the educational curriculum to further deepen and enrich students engagement with essential learning topics such as Reading, Math, Science, English, and History.

Fire Mountain currently has openings for the 2012-13 school year. We offer a Beginnings class (ages 3-4), and Kindergarten through 6th grade. Fire Mountain is located at 6505 Elk Flat Road, off Hwy 101 between Arch Cape and Manzanita. Questions or to apply please call Barbara at 503-436-2610 or send an email to fms@seasurf.net.
