Celebrating Three New Charters this Fall

High Rockies Community School (Fairplay). Serving grades K–8, High Rockies offers a hands-on, exploratory learning model where students engage in interdisciplinary projects, outdoor education, and community partnerships that bring learning to life. With both full-time and part-time options, including a Homeschool Enrichment Program, the school embraces multi-age classrooms that encourage collaboration, creativity, and academic growth at or above grade level.

Capstone Academy (Commerce City). This school blends rigorous college-prep academics with a deep commitment to character development and community. Through its signature Moral Focus program, Capstone instills virtues like respect, perseverance, and compassion into everyday learning. The school also elevates expectations with a “no excuses” ethos, encouraging students to make responsible choices, understand consequences, and own their actions all within a nurturing, partnership-driven learning environment.

The Sunflower School (Aurora). Offering tuition-free education for kindergarten and above, The Sunflower School is rooted in authentic Montessori principles, nurturing curiosity and creativity through hands-on learning and a child-led approach. This fall, The Sunflower School will serve 54 students aged 3–9 in mixed-age classrooms where every child’s voice is valued. With flexible tuition options for early childhood programs and support through Universal Preschool funding, The Sunflower School is committed to reducing barriers and making high-quality Montessori education accessible to all families.
