Are you interested in what Kindergarten and First Grade look like at Telluride Mountain School? Join us next Wednesday, January 31st, at the Wilkinson Public Library from 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. for an information session and an opportunity to talk with other TMS parents.
As part of an interdisciplinary unit on global health, our 9th-grade students participated in a 16-hour comprehensive Wilderness First Aid course that teaches students how to assess, identify, and treat injuries and illnesses in the backcountry. #staysafeoutthere safetyfirst #telluridemountainschool #telluride
Students in 5/6 science have spent a majority of class time over the last few weeks designing a year-long experiment and collecting data to help them answer the question: “What is the ecological impact that we have when we play on the playground”? To answer this question, students have been collecting data within the new playground extension, the old playground space on the hill, and the area outside the fence. Stay tuned later in the year as students reveal their findings!

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.

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
