The policies, disclaimers, terms, and conditions on this page were last updated in August 2026.
Business Operations
Mountaineer Montessori School is an independent, non-sectarian 501(c)(3) non-profit school located in Charleston, West Virginia. Enrollment agreements, tuition obligations, and payments are contractual relationships between individual families and the school. The information on this website is provided to help families learn about our programs and does not constitute a binding enrollment offer or contract.
Privacy Policy
Mountaineer Montessori School is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect through this website and how we use it.
Information we collect
Our website collects information through inquiry, tour-scheduling, tuition-request, and careers forms. The information collected may include a parent or guardian's first and last name, email address, phone number, a child's name and age or program of interest, and any message you choose to include. We also collect standard web-server log information (such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited) and use cookies and similar technologies as described in the Cookie Notice below.
How we use your information
We use the information you provide to respond to your inquiries, schedule tours, process tuition requests and applications, and communicate with you about enrollment. Web-server log data and analytics help us administer the site and improve our services. This website uses Google Ads conversion tracking, Google/DoubleClick remarketing, and Bing Ads (Microsoft Advertising) tracking to understand how visitors reach us and to provide relevant advertising. You can opt out of Google/DoubleClick advertising using the DoubleClick opt-out page or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
Disclosure of your information
We will not disclose personally identifiable information we collect from you to third parties without your permission, except to the extent necessary: to fulfill your requests for services; to protect ourselves from liability; to respond to legal process or comply with applicable law; or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the school.
Accessing or deleting your information
If you would like to request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you, please contact us and we will respond to your request in accordance with applicable law.
Children's Privacy
Our website may collect a child's first name, age, and program of interest on inquiry and application forms. This information is always submitted by a parent or guardian, never by the child directly. Mountaineer Montessori School does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal information without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information. We handle any child information collected through parent-submitted forms consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Mountaineer Montessori School complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), a United States federal law that applies in all 50 states. COPPA governs the online collection of personal information from children under 13, and our practices described above are designed to be consistent with its requirements.
Cookie Notice
This website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies, including those used by the advertising platforms described in the Privacy Policy above. Cookies help us administer the site, analyze usage, and serve relevant content and advertising. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. To opt out of Google/DoubleClick interest-based advertising, visit the Google Ads Settings page or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page. Disabling cookies may affect some features of the website.
SMS Terms
By providing your phone number and consenting to SMS communication, you agree to receive text messages from Mountaineer Montessori School related to your inquiry, tour, or enrollment. Opt out at any time by replying STOP. Reply HELP for assistance. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Message and data rates may apply.

Mountaineer Montessori School is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or functionality of these third-party services. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party service before providing personal information or completing a transaction.
Website Information Disclaimer

Photography and Media
Mountaineer Montessori School may photograph and record classroom life, events, and activities for use in its own communications, including the website, newsletter, social media, and promotional materials. The school uses these images and recordings consistent with the media permissions that families provide at the time of enrollment. Families may update their preferences at any time by contacting the school office.
