An education rooted in truth, goodness, and beauty

Mountain Minds is a Christ-centered homeschool co-op where families come together three days a week to teach, learn, and grow in community in the heart of the Eagle Valley.

Who we are

Families teaching together, with Christ at the center

We are homeschool families who believe children are made in God's image and deserve our very best. We work alongside each other to give our kids a rich, meaningful education and a community to grow up in.

Christ-centered

Christ is the foundation of what we teach, how we teach, and how we treat one another.

Strong minds

We skip shallow busywork and cultivate a taste for the subjects that build strong, resilient minds.

Learning from rest

We trust God with our homeschool and see learning as a lifelong journey, not a race to finish.

Real community

We cook and share meals, play multi-age sports, and get outside together in the mountains.

How it works

A true co-op, led by parents

At Mountain Minds, parents stay at the heart of their children's education. We simply come alongside you so no family has to do it alone.

  • Parents teach. Every family leads or assists with classes and shares in the work that keeps our co-op running.
  • Parents stay close. For kindergarten through 8th grade, a parent from each family is on campus at least one day a week. High school students don't need a parent on site, but their parents still help teach and volunteer their time at the co-op.
  • Classes grow with our people. When a parent or teacher has a special skill or passion, we build it into the schedule, so our offerings change from year to year.
  • Phone-free campus. Students leave cell phones at home so they can be fully present.
