"Self-esteem is not built from compliments. It is built from accomplishments of quality."
-Ron Berger
Welcome to mountaindiscovery.org!
As I began working to update my letter for the website, I was hit by a realization; the website is my director’s letter. Everything I want to say about the school is said or demonstrated in these pages because we designed and coded the site to communicate the quality and uniqueness of our school. If you want to learn about our school, a tour through these pages will tell you a lot.
Visit School Overview for information on our instructional approach, special programs, links to school report cards, and more.
Use the "Classrooms" dropdown menu on each page to visit the classroom homepages. You will get a feel for each teacher’s curriculum, philosophy, projects, and more.
Visit Education Outdoors to see some concrete and wonderful examples of our instructional approach.
Visit this page if you want to learn more about how we create and manage this site.
Go to the Parent Educator Partnership page to read about our committed parents and everything they do for MDCS.
And finally, please read the Meet Our Staff page to learn something about the people who define our school. A school is as good as its staff, and ours is excellent.
There is one thing that is not said explicitly on these pages but the message is there between all of the lines of copy and code. We care very deeply about what we do which is to serve and challenge the whole child, emotionally, mentally, socially, and physically.
I hope you find your visit to our website both informative and inspiring and please bear in mind that our cyber-presence is a mere shadow of the real thing. We’re even better in person.
Sincerely,
Carter Petty
