Parents, do you ever:
  • Feel concern for your child's physical, emotional or spiritual well-being?
  • Wonder if your child is receiving enough individual attention from his/her current teacher?
  • Sense that your child is getting "lost in the crowd"?
  • Wish that your child was loved and respected for the individual that he or she is?

Come see the difference at Columbine Christian School!

Our Mission

At Columbine Christian School, we focus on creating a high impact learning environment that is both flexible and disciplined. We strive to incorporate the highest principles of unconditional love and service in action. Our school community is in continual dialogue and exploration about how spiritual principles are best expressed in the real day to day world.

Our guiding principles include inviting God’s presence into all we do, teaching a social curriculum, working toward differentiated instruction and bringing natural beauty into the classroom setting. We invite partnership with parents, offering a wide range of opportunities for involvement.

 Our Curriculum

We synthesize Waldorf, Montessori and the best of traditional educational approaches, while drawing heavily on experiential learning philosophy. We find that children learn most quickly through direct experimentation and experience; thus drama, music, art, and exploration of nature play a significant role in our curriculum.

Grades K-5 set aside one afternoon each week for “Wilderness Day”- an outdoor, history or science experience. We try to teach a large part of the science curriculum in the outdoors. Past Wilderness Days have included topics such as a reenactment of the discovery of Mesa Verde, a visit with John Muir, and kite flying with Ben Franklin. Almost every week includes hands-on lessons on local flora and fauna.

We believe that a relationship with God is the center of mental, emotional and spiritual health, and can be incorporated into all content areas.		 Our Students

We welcome students from diverse ethnic and spiritual backgrounds. Affiliation with any particular religion or creed is not required or preferred. We respect and support each child in exploring and developing his or her unique relationship to God. Children work in multi-age classrooms where the student / teacher ratio does not exceed 1:15. This allows teachers to focus on each student and provide the kind of individual attention that is our hallmark.

Multi-level classrooms enable older children to develop leadership skills and younger students to benefit from older role models much like the old “one-room school house” from the past. In this way, students support each other’s learning and growth.
