Campus Tours

We strongly encourage interested families to visit our campus for one of our scheduled tours or events during the Choice Enrollment period. Tour information can be found above; RSVP is required for school-day visits.

Unfortunately, we are not able to offer tours outside of the enrollment period and our scheduled events.

Our tours include a tour of the selected level (elementary, middle, or high) as well as a high-level overview of the subsequent levels. We will visit at least one classroom and end our tour with a brief Q&A with principals and administrators. In order to make the most of our time together, we ask attendees to please view the level presentation from our principals prior to the tour. The presentation will be sent to you via email.

Enrollment Process

Applying to Peak to Peak

All students must apply through BVSD Choice Enrollment.
Peak to Peak is not a "neighborhood school" with a geographic attendance boundary. All prospective students, including those who live near Peak to Peak, must apply through the BVSD SchoolMint enrollment portal.
Students who live within BVSD boundaries receive increased preference in the lottery according to BVSD enrollment priorities.

Visit Peak to Peak Before You Apply

We strongly encourage prospective families to visit Peak to Peak during the Choice Enrollment application window. Our in-person tours, events, and informational presentations are designed to help families understand our academic program, school culture, campus, and community before making their enrollment decisions.
After the enrollment window closes, in-person tours are limited to families who have received an offer of enrollment. Because BVSD requires families to make an enrollment decision within days of receiving an offer, we cannot guarantee that we can accommodate every family's schedule, so we really encourage you to visit our campus during the application window if you can!

How Choice Enrollment Works

Families apply online through BVSD during the annual Choice Enrollment application period.
All on-time applications are entered into a computer-generated lottery based on BVSD enrollment priorities and available seats.
Applicants who are not initially offered a seat receive a waitlist number.
Peak to Peak's waitlist remains active through September 30th, and additional offers may be made as seats become available.
Waitlists do not carry over from year to year. Families must submit a new Choice Enrollment application each year they wish to be considered for admission to Peak to Peak.

Additional Notes

Submitting a Choice Enrollment application does not guarantee admission to Peak to Peak.
Students are admitted to Peak to Peak from early January 2027 until September 30th, 2027 for the 2027-28 school year. Please note that we continue to make enrollment offers after the start of the school year, subject to capacity.
Misrepresentation of information, including home address, may result in an application being declined or an offer withdrawn.
Please visit the Frequently Asked Questions page of our website for additional school information.

Application Window

To request Peak to Peak for the 2027-28 school year, you must submit an application for Choice Enrollment (previously Open Enrollment) on BVSD's Choice Enrollment website during the enrollment period that opens at 8:00 AM on November 1, 2026. Please contact the Enrollment office if you have questions: 720-561-5900.

Note: It is strongly recommended that you research any school that you apply for prior to application, rather than when an offer is received. All tours and informational meetings are scheduled during the Open Enrollment application window only, and will not be available once offers are made.
