I graduated Golden View 2 years ago. What can I say about this school to sum up my love for it…read more Golden view changed me both as a student and as a person. I learned what it meant to have virtue. The teachers are the best people you will ever meet. Their joy and wonder for life and learning inspires me to this day. However, this school is not for the weak of heart. It takes grit and determination to do well with their classical education. But if you commit, you will learn what it truly means to be human. My love for learning flourished as did my love for the world around me. I will send my kids here one day. And hopefully be apart of the Golden View family forever.

St. John's has been a truly exceptional place for our children, who have been part of the school…read morecommunity since they were just 18 months old. Under the nurturing and inspiring guidance of Mrs. Mari Koester and Mrs. Sarah Perez, we've had the joy of watching our boys grow not only academically, but also socially, emotionally, and spiritually. Their reading and math skills have exceeded our expectations, but just as importantly, they've developed confidence, compassion, and a genuine love of learning. Entrusting your child's education is one of the most important decisions a parent can make--and for our family, there is simply no other place we would consider. You can tell that the entire staff, including the principal, Dr. Barnard, genuinely cares and wants your child to succeed. St. John's offers a truly holistic approach that honors the whole child, and we're deeply grateful to be part of such a thoughtful and enriching environment!

By far the best value in education in Denver. A great community, small classes, excellent teachers.read more

We have been thrilled with our daughter's first year as a 6th grade student at St. Mary's Academy…read more She is our third child, and our first to go outside Denver's public school system (both traditional and charter). As any parent with multiple kids may share, children have individual needs, and what was best for our daughter - smaller class sizes, more individual attention, consistent and warm encouragement within a structured academic environment - meant that we felt she needed a different option than her older siblings. We could not be more pleased. What do we love most about SMA? Most importantly, as much as middle school is never going to be the highlight chapter of any child's autobiography, our daughter genuinely enjoys going to school, no matter how reluctant she appears. The teaching at SMA has been terrific. The smaller class sizes allow her teachers to really get to know and spend time with her - and they understand when to nod empathetically and provide a little leeway, and when to gently hold the line and ask for more responsibility and commitment. There is a structure and rigor to classrooms at SMA that is couched in a warm and bright environment where learning and achievement are valued. The fit at a school stretches far beyond academics, and the culture at SMA has been outstanding. Our daughter was welcomed into a brand new social environment by her peers -- often girls who had been at SMA for several years, but who still embraced new students. She has been encouraged to join teams and activities in which she had no experience, and these have been some of the highlights of her year. Lastly the communication from SMA's administration has been excellent. Even on difficult topics, they are clear on what they believe and why they choose a specific course of action, and they have always acted fully aligned with the interests of their families, The values of SMA are not used to constrain and limit behavior, but instead are a structure on which the school slowly builds, piece by piece, students with exemplary habits and character. We hope to be part of the SMA community for years to come.

I attended RMSEL and graduated in 2008. After that, I returned to work at RMSEL as a Wilderness…read moreFirst Responder for their expeditions. Now, my husband (also an RMSEL graduate) and I are looking at the school for our kindergarten-aged child. While RMSEL has grown and changed over the years, I believe its core values remain the same. The key takeaways I received from my time there are life skills that have followed me into adulthood and served me well in my career--resiliency, problem-solving, and independence. The expeditions were life-changing in so many ways: they offered my first experiences with developing countries, and they required a level of self-discipline that shaped who I am today. We currently have friends whose children are in kindergarten at RMSEL, and we love hearing about their experiences. Small class sizes, meeting children where they are, and introducing expeditions at such a young age are key reasons we're excited to return as a family. As a teenager, RMSEL was a blessing to me, even when I didn't always see it that way. Returning as an adult, I could recognize how the expeditions build resilience--even when the students themselves don't yet realize it. This school pushes kids to step outside their comfort zones, and many won't appreciate the benefits until years later. The very things I resisted as a teen are now the things I credit most for my personal growth. If you're looking for a school that teaches more than academics--a place that nurtures real-world life skills that will serve your children well into adulthood--RMSEL is a truly special place.

This school is a great school! If you like the outdoors. Every semester you get to go on a "crew…read moretrip"! Basically you travel out of the state with you class for a week. The destination is usually tied to your current learning and you basically get to learn about it in real time and it is very fun. This school also has a great community with doing stuff from "RMSEL Olympics" to "the cereal box challenge" and many more. This school is nothing like I've ever been to and it is an amazing experience. 10/10

We have three children-now ages 20, 14, and 11-and each of them has benefited from the school's role in their academic, spiritual, and personal development. Over the years, we've appreciated the caring teachers, strong sense of community, and the lifelong friendships we have developed. Having been a part of the school for so many years, we've witnessed several changes in leadership. These periods of transition have brought many challenges; however, there seems to be a renewed focus on academic excellence. A popular new addition this year was the STEM program, and I believe my daughter, who will be in middle school in the fall, will be well prepared for high school, just as her brothers were. While no school is perfect and every family's experience is unique, we are grateful for the role MPB has played in our children's growth and education. We feel fortunate to continue being part of such a strong community and would gladly recommend it to other families.
