Colorado Springs School
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Learning is grounded in experience. By delivering challenging academic material through traditional and experiential settings, CSS offers students opportunities to learn information more thoroughly, to retain it longer, and to apply it to new settings. This deliberate approach to teaching also offers students opportunities to learn more about themselves, others, and the world. Building on strong,supportive relationships afforded by small classes and a safe environment, ensures each student’s personal and academic growth. Students are also encouraged to participate in after school activities. CSS athletics teams compete against other teams in the Pikes Peak region in soccer, basketball, volleyball, cross-country, tennis, lacrosse, and golf. For those with other interests, three plays/musicals are performed each year in the on-campus Performing Arts Center.
Small school with challenging curriculum located in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. Welcome to Colorado Springs School!
