Telluride Mountain School

Science is sweet! 🍫🔬 Our first and second graders had a blast this week as they explored the fascinating world of geology by taking core samples of different candy bars. This activity was designed to prepare them for their outdoor experiential education trip this week that focuses on the rich mining history of the Telluride region. Tomorrow students will take a jeep tour up to Tomboy Mine to continue their #loveofllearning! #telluridemountainschool #telluride #science

What a peaceful way to start the morning! Our 7th and 8th-grade students have been working on perspective drawings in art class for the past few weeks while also enjoying the beautiful fall weather. #telluridemountainschool #art

#outdooreducation trips kick off this week, and the 5th and 6th-grade students are the first to leave! Sand Dunes National Park is a great place for adventure and learning. We can't wait to hear about their fun experiences. #outdooreducation #GreatSandDunes

📸 Our first and second-grade field trip to the Bachelor-Syracuse Mine in Ouray was an incredible experience! The students showed immense respect, curiosity, and excitement as they delved into the fascinating world of mining. 🚂⛏️

Getting ready to hit the trail! The 9th-grade mountain biking adventure on the Kokopelli trail is approaching, and we couldn't be more excited! 🚵‍♂️🍁 #MountainBiking #KokopelliTrail #OutdoorEducation #telluridemountainschool

And they're off! The third and fourth-grade #telluridemountschool students departed for their spring experiential trip to Moab this morning. The students will learn about pothole ecology and desert animal adaptations and raft the Colorado River! We can't wait to hear about their adventures! #loveoflearning

Last Friday, upper school Freeride Committee students got some freshies at Silverton! The fresh powder, beautiful scenery, and amazing crew made for an unforgettable day. Annually, in celebration of completing the Free Ride Committee programming, upper school students ski at Silverton Mountain. This celebration allows students to explore new terrain and learn how to ski backcountry safely from professional guides. #skiing #backcountry #silvertonmountain #telluridemountainschool

The Winter Carnival has been a blast! Yesterday's ski shuffle proved more challenging than anticipated and definitely tested the student's teamwork! #telluridemountainschool

Our awesome upper school students lent a helping hand to their younger peers in the #Montessori today! #telluridemountainschool

Lower school students glazed their pottery projects during art class today. We can’t wait to see how they turn out!

Before winter break the upper school students were given small clues unveiling where their spring experiential trip will take place. Looks like they’re off to Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic to expand their studies of World War II and the Cold War! #telluridemountainschool #experientialeducation

The #montessori classroom is buzzing with fun learning activities! #telluridemountainschool #love of learning

Smiles sure do warm up these cold, snowy days! #telluridemountainschool #montessori

In science class today, the third and fourth grade students dissected owl pellets to determine their food sources.

A very special thank you to the parents for making such a wonderful harvest feast for the teachers today!

The first and second grade #telluridemountainschool students have been learning about the value of money. Today they ran a store for the rest of the school to come and shop!

Happy Halloween from telluridemountainschool!

Halloween is in the air!
