Accredited K – 12 College Prep in a Small School Environment

 

(Updated on 9/27/2007)

 

Peak to Peak is a K-12 public charter school offering a liberal arts, character-based, college preparatory curriculum.  The school is designed from the ground up for graduates to meet or exceed the entrance requirements of top colleges and universities.  Students at Peak to Peak who demonstrate a mastery of knowledge and skills are challenged through appropriate placement in each subject area. 

 

The school is small enough to ensure that each student is known and valued but large enough to provide a variety of academic, athletic, and extracurricular activities.

 

Peak to Peak’s Elementary School uses the nationally recognized Core Knowledge program.  Students entering middle school enroll in courses specifically designed to prepare them to take and succeed in Peak to Peak’s advanced courses.

 

Peak to Peak High School features the “Peak Scholar Program.”  Designed to challenge students who desire a well-rounded high school experience, the Peak Scholar Diploma indicates to highly selective colleges the Peak Scholar’s commitment to excellence.  The Peak Scholar Diploma demonstrates achievement in the following areas:

 

q       Advanced Placement (AP) courses and exams

 

q       The CU Succeed Gold Program with university courses taught during the school day by CU adjunct professors who are on-staff at Peak to Peak

 

q       Honor Roll distinction

 

q       A commitment to our community through community service

 

q       Leadership or extracurricular activities

 

Please see the “FAQ” link on the school website under “About Peak to Peak” that provides additional information about the school, including information about how to enroll in the school.
