Mountain Sun Community School, serving children in preschool through middle school, is Brevard's only independent elementary school. The mission of MSCS is to holistically nurture, challenge, and guide each unique child to discover academic skills using Montessori principles, explore the natural world, create through self-expression, and belong to a collaborative, diverse, and peaceful community.
School Motto: Our care of the child should be governed, not by the desire to make him learn things, but by the endeavor always to keep burning within him that light which is called intelligence.
Mountain Sun Community School serves children in preschool
through 8th grade in a carefully prepared environment with
specially trained teachers using the Montessori method along with

that nurtures each child's passion and unique abilities. Our
mission is to preserve the child's natural curiosity and love of
learning and foster respect and responsibility for themselves,
their community, and the natural world. Our small class sizes and
multi age classrooms create an environment where each child is
challenged and inspired to be their best selves academically,
socially, emotionally, and physically.
