About Pagosa Peak Open School
Vision Pagosa Peak Open School aims to inspire a passion and respect for learning, knowledge, character and skills, enabling our children to pursue their dreams and lead meaningful lives. Our children are nurtured and engaged through outdoor education, hands-on projects, and community involvement. Mission Pagosa Peak Open School is committed to providing a flexible, respectful and inclusive learning environment built upon individual competencies and interests, where education evolves as a creative process, fostering self-sufficient individuals with inquisitive minds. By exploring subjects through participation in natural environments, student achievement is amplified and a strong sense of place is solidified, inevitably supporting community vitality and a healthy planet. Overview Pagosa Peak Open School is an experiential learning center with a focus on project-based educational instruction. Upon opening in September 2017, PPOS plans to serve 75 kids grades K-4, expanding each year until full capacity of grade eight is achieved in the fall of 2021. We intend to reach 135 students in 2021. At full build-out, kindergarten will stand alone, while multi-age classrooms will combine 1st with 2nd grade, 3rd with 4th grade, 5th with 6th grade, and 7th with 8th grade.
