Student experience design
At Mountain View, students learn in conditions of agency, where they are set free to think big thoughts, identify unsolved problems in the world around them, collaborate with others to create solutions, and, most importantly, plug their learning into the world where it can make a real difference. We are not preparing them for the real world—school is very real to them. And it can be so much better. The Mountain View learner experience fosters curiosity and critical thinking, where the work is real, purposeful, exciting, and authentic. Our mission is clear: Empowering learners to strive for excellence, connect with community, and carve pathways for the future. Mountain View offers an exhilarating learning experience for all—students, teachers, even parents—where learning is elevated to life.
