Aspen Schools

Below is some information on Aspen area schools from Gary Feldman, a top Aspen realtor.   

Aspen Elementary School
Focus is on learning in collaborative teams. Faculty clearly defines, articulates, implements, and assesses what students know and are able to do, and are committed to the social, physical, and emotional well-being of all members.

Aspen Middle School
Outdoor Education Program is second to none. All grade levels have integrated physical activities and academics so programs teach life skills, outside of the classroom, that will be remembered for years to come and develop the young adolescent's mind, body, and spirit.

Aspen High School
Academic program endeavors to inspire students to become lifelong learners. Courses are designed to produce thoughtful, resilient, independent, and critical thinkers. Typical Aspen High School students are characterized by their enthusiasm, resourcefulness, and inquisitive nature. A large percentage of students work in the community, participate in clubs, and are active in team and individual sports.

Aspen Community School
A charter school of the Aspen School District that has been providing progressive educational opportunities to K-8 students since 1970. Focus is on a small student-teacher ratio combined with an integrated, thematic curriculum providing a unique and effective way to meet goals of lifelong learning, social justice, community participation, and personal responsibility.

Aspen Country Day School
Aspen Country Day School is open to all children in the Roaring Fork Valley from pre-kindergarten through middle school. Located at a campus on Castle Creek, it is fully accredited by the National Association of Independent Schools. Country Day is known for its high teacher-student ratio, its strong arts, outdoor education and foreign language programs, and its traditional private-school environment of courtesy and friendship.
