~ABOUT MTMS~


Mountain Trail Middle School opened in the fall of 2002 and is the newest middle school in the Paradise Valley Unified School District. Mountain Trail is located west of Cave Creek Road and is just south of Pinnacle Peak Road in Phoenix, Arizona.  Mountain Trail is home to 800 seventh and eighth graders. Students are placed on teams that provide small learning communities, which supports each student's intellectual, social, emotional and physical development in a mutually respectful environment. 


Core Knowledge, Mountain Trail's signature program, provides our students with a sequenced specific core curriculum that helps children establish strong foundations of knowledge.  Mountain Trail is the only middle school in the Paradise Valley Unified School District to provide the continuation of the Core Knowledge program offered at the elementary schools within our boundaries. Our goal is to increase student understanding, promote excellence and fairness in learning, increase critical thinking skills, present a diversity of perspectives, and encourage and integrate the use of technology in school.


Enjoy your journey through Mountain Trail Middle School!
