Preschool through 6th grade

Mountain Peak School is an independent, nonsectarian school proud to be the only school in Colorado offering daily physical education. Recognizing that each child is unique,  we offer individualized curriculum while focusing on educating the whole child. We strive for excellence by nurturing each child’s intellect, curiosity, and social growth. Explorations in all disciplines create an effective atmosphere for students to grow and flourish. Student responsibility and respect for self and others are emphasized.

Learning experiences are offered that reach beyond the core academic areas. Creative thinking in a hands-on manner introduces students to exciting and challenging subjects. Starting at the critical preschool level, our program is designed to provide a strong foundation of learning and individual development to prepare each child for the future. An inspired, balanced curriculum is created by our degreed educators to meet the needs of each class and challenge each child at his/her own level. And because studies have shown that large class sizes adversely affect learning, we are committed to keeping our classes small (16 or fewer in grades K-6, smaller for preschool). Our test results, with more than half our students regularly testing more than a year above grade level, prove that our program works. Before and after school care is available.
