Since 1976, Rivendell School—the oldest secular, not-for-profit private elementary school in Northern Colorado—has proudly helped hundreds of children begin the journey of realizing their personal potentials and becoming well-educated, imaginative, civil, responsible, and contributing citizens. This unique regional school provides an individualized approach to the educational process. Working together, teachers and parents encourage each child to grow and thrive at a comfortable pace (not bound by age or grade level); to build solid academic foundations for future successes; to be recognized and affirmed for his or her unique skills, abilities and learning styles; to learn and implement the valuable life skills of cooperation, respect, and personal responsibility; and to grow emotionally within a safe environment that understands and values the experience of childhood.
