Get to Know Us

Strong Foundation    Sunset Mesa School has a long-standing reputation for building strong academic foundations beginning in preschool through 5th grade.   Preschool students learn through basic letter, number and writing skills in both our Early Childhood and Montessori programs.  Kindergarten through 5th grade students apply those preschool skills to build strong foundations in reading, writing and math and applying them in real life scenarios. Our students find joy in our enrichment classes in art, music, science, technology and more!  

Building Character   Our students are challenged to become productive, responsible, and caring people as we model and reinforce the sound values, compassion, and ethical behavior you teach at home.

Our Purpose   To graduate students that learned to think and act independently, develop good study habits, solve problems, and think critically. It is our purpose to give children a strong foundation upon which to build their successful future education and life experiencesan investment which will pay interest for a lifetime.
