The only internationally accredited (AMI) Montessori school in Colorado where children joyfully reach their individual potential through independence, academic excellence, respect and moral responsibility while learning, exploring and playing in and around our 12-acre farmhouse campus. Classrooms are carefully and creatively prepared by highly trained teachers who guide students through hands-on discovery, experimentation and collaboration, making for an organic learning environment in which students not only know the facts, and understand them, but often perform a year or more above grade level.
