• Rating 4.42 out of 5  48 reviews

Parent: My first child started in 6th Grade and went through 8th Grade. It was a great experience for her and we found CA's Middle School to be an amazing inclusive learning environment. She participated in Robotics, Jazz Band, Volleyball, Basketball, Yoga, Leadership Group, Spanish for Spanish Speakers (tested in, and she only started Spanish in 6th grade), and started an Engineering Club. As a result, we sent our second child who also started in 6th grade and is thriving (currently in 8th grade). Our third child started in 3rd grade (currently in 6th Grade). CA has a beautiful campus with separate buildings for Lower School, Middle School and Upper School. In addition, it has a separate buildings that focuses on the various arts: one for Fine Arts, one for music and one for theater, plus a state of the art gym with rock climbing facilities. The Admissions Team is very helpful, the families are welcoming, and they have an endowment if tuition is a barrier. Highly recommend this school!...Read 48 Reviews

St. Mary's Academy

• Private School
• ENGLEWOOD, CO
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.1 out of 5  105 reviews

Parent: We consider ourselves lucky to have become part of the community at St. Mary's Academy. The teachers are extremely kind, patient and supportive. The administration is supportive and communicative with parents regarding what is happening at the school. After going through such a tough year with the pandemic, we were happy and confident with how they managed the challenges and concerns of being in-person. They have acknowledged areas of improvement such as diversity and they have made significant improvements in these areas. I feel like they are constantly striving to improve. Our children have thrived here! We have had a conflict or two with other students, and we were extremely pleased with how they were handled. The teachers are genuinely passionate about their students. What we love most is they are teaching children values like justice, respect, community and faith. While no school is perfect, this is as close as we have come to finding the perfect school for our children...Read 105 Reviews

Challenge School

• Cherry Creek School District, CO
• PK, K-8
• Rating 3.63 out of 5  16 reviews

Middle School Student: Ive attended since fourth grade, and Id like to begin discussing the application process. Its difficult to get into this school unless you have a sibling who has attended or is presently attending at Challenge. Obtaining a recommendation letter from your current school's teacher is also an easier option to gain admission to the school. When it comes to clubs, the school is fiercely competitive, particularly in lego robotics, TSA(Technology Student Association), Chess, and Math Club. The school places a lot of emphasis on writing and math. However, I wish the school would have its own sports team because I know a lot of athletes that go to different places to participate in sports. This school welcomes diversity, and kids who join clubs like WEB, PACK players, and another one that I cant recall right now get to lead assemblies that discuss topics that children should be aware of(eg: bullying). Chosen students get to mentor 5th graders with their homework(these kids must have all A's)...Read 16 Reviews

Shining Mountain Waldorf School

• Private School
• BOULDER, CO
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.4 out of 5  25 reviews

Alum: I was really happy with my time at SMWS. I felt exposed to a really wide range of subjects that even my liberal arts college could not begin to compete with. I felt like I was allowed to be myself and I liked that my teachers wanted to think about the material critically and thoughtfully --not just come to the same conclusion. The cost of all the range can be a loss of some depth and you might feel the bite of not having AP credit during your freshman or sophomore year science classes but I think the trade-off was worthwhile even for someone like me who ended up pursuing biochemistry/molecular biology. I'm glad I made it out of high school still excited to learn and I attribute a major part of that to how SMWS approaches teaching. I think I would do it all the same if I had to do it over again...Read 25 Reviews

• Rating 3.96 out of 5  53 reviews

Parent: How rare & wonderful to find a school that perfectly suits both of our children - as different as they are! In their own unique ways they are celebrated, supported & cared for by the amazing teachers & staff who work tirelessly to provide a great school home. As parents we feel so safe & comfortable in this school and have really enjoyed meeting the other families - many became close friends quickly! We love the inclusive environment, the solid Christian foundations, wonderful communication from school to families and the fun activities sprinkled in all school year. They do a great job fostering the whole child approach and truly make it a cornerstone of their curriculum & activities. We searched extensively for the right fit for our children and family as a whole and have been so very happy in our last three years at DC. The way they met learning in a pandemic has been exceptional and we are so thankful for all of the healthy, smart and effective approaches used. Come check out DC!...Read 53 Reviews
