"The Colorado Springs School made me an advocate for my own education in college; if I needed a question answered or something from a teacher, I went right up and asked for it...now I know I am in charge of my future."

"My Experience Centered Seminar in China 20+ years ago blew the lid off my limited world and made me realize that I had to learn about and engage the world in a whole new way. It was a wake-up call that I have been answering ever since."

"When I watched the All-State basktball player performing a show tune on stage and singing to the young children in the audience, I had an epiphany - a real WOW moment. I said to myself, 'That's IT. That is what CSS does.' It invites students to explore and stretch themselves in so many ways, to develop all their potentials in becoming confident adults who know, who think, who care."

"My son has never felt so accepted before and tells people that this has been his best year of school ever. Never before have we seen him this happy. It is an indescribable gift to see our son so happy and relaxed that he can really be himself - laughing, joking, and exploring. We believe that he will not only graduate from CSS well prepared for college, but will also reach his full potential. This school is not only giving him a good academic education, but a great life." - Current Parent of an Upper School Student

"As we prepare to celebrate our son’s twenty-sixth birthday, we cannot help but reflect on the pivotal role The Colorado Springs School played in his success. From teachers who truly cared about him to a student body that embraced him, it was an all around life affirming experience. Not only was he able to excel academically, but he was also encouraged and allowed to play all sports that interested him. These opportunities taught him valuable lessons in teamwork and leadership. His teachers encouraged him all along the way, but did a wonderful job of holding him accountable for his behavior and performance academically. It was through this that he learned those all-important lessons about expectations, time management, and the value of work. Early acceptance into Colorado School of Mines was our validation that we did indeed do the right thing ensuring that our son received the best education available. That meant The Colorado Springs School. There were times when it was a bit of a sacrifice for the family, but ultimately we would not have it any other way." - Parent of an Alum
