School Notes

As an affordable and progressive educational institution, we cater to young learners from kindergarten through 5th grade.

Through a carefully crafted curriculum, we emphasize the development of essential problem-solving and social skills, equipping our students to become confident and resourceful members of the community.
Join us and give your child the foundation for a lifelong journey of learning and discovery, right here in the heart of Denver.

Why Micro?

1. Unmatched class sizes allow for deep bonds between students and teachers
2. Student-centered learning empowers and gives them a voice in their own education
3. Our own shuttle bus takes us where the learning goes

High Standards, Not Same Standards:A child's emotional, intellectual and physical capacities are highly variable, and no two children are the same. So why should success look the same for anyone?
Context and Meaning Make the Learning Stick: Instead of "practicing for the real world," our students solve real problems and construct real ideas here and now. Building their toolkit of skills, experiences and know-how means their ability to take on challenges grows.
Room to Learn and Grow: At capacity, our total number of students in the schoolhouse is 26. With only 13 kids in a classroom, this small group of eager learners is supported by two full-time teachers and two part-time support teachers.
Relationships are Fundamental: We've long known that strong bonds with adults and peers during childhood are predictive of many positive outcomes. At Highlands Micro School, strong relationships are at the core of everything we do.
Environments of Mutual Respect Help Everyone be Their Best: When students know we respect their ideas, they share more, compromise more and give more. They can scale mountains (literally), research peer-reviewed journals to support their arguments, and take responsibility for their learning. With permission to be his or herself, children are free to grow with confidence.
Overnight Adventures are Designed to Challenge Students Physically and Mentally, while Fostering Personal Growth and Teamwork:Through these experiences, students develop independence, confidence, and resilience all of which contribute to their overall success in school and beyond. With the guidance of experienced instructors, learners explore new environments, push their boundaries, and gain a deeper appreciation of the world around them.
