Mountain School Where You Live (May)
Mountain School Where You Live is an event in early May where alumni, family, and friends are encouraged gather to appreciate some aspect of their common place, whether by exploring the outdoors, sharing food, visiting a museum, or doing a service project—you name it. Alumni volunteer to host/organize a simple, casual event in their area, and the Alumni Coordinator helps with logistics, marketing, and registrations. Past events have included hikes (from substantial climbs to strolls on nature trails), potluck meals, literary tours, art tours, farm work, visits to historic landmarks, camping, and community service. |
Big Idea Day (October)
Big Idea Day is an event in early to mid-October that offers graduates everywhere the opportunity to meet each other and engage in a subject that affects our lives and which may be related to a current event or issue on campus at The Mountain School. Each year there is a different discussion topic, generated by the Alumni Committee in collaboration with the School. Alumni volunteers host gatherings in their homes, at cafes, in public parks, or wherever they'd like. Some Big Idea Day groups are just a few graduates, while other events have had as many as 25 attendees. Either way, the discussions are always enlightening, lively, and help alumni to connect with each other and what is happening in the world and at TMS. |

Recent Alumni Mission (RAM)
RAM is a program of the Alumni Committee that aims to support young alumni in their transition from the Mountain School to college/post-high school life and from college to the 'real world' by connecting them to other alumni in the right places and positions. Recent graduates going through the college search process can connect to other Mountain School grads at colleges they are considering, or those in college can find out if there are other alumni at their school. RAM can also help connect college students or recent college graduates with Mountain School alumni in the professional world. More information about RAM events is available here.
