NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS AND BEYOND FIND THE BEST FIT FOR YOUR CHILD IN ONE OF THE MANY PROGRAMS IN YOUR AREA K AT I E H A R R I S
C
olorado parents have options when it comes to their children’s education. While enrolling your kids in your neighborhood school has many benefits, including bus transportation and a population of local families you may already know, you might find it’s not the best fit for your child. Our state’s school of choice policy allows students to apply to any school as long as it’s not at capacity and can meet any special needs the child might have. If you’d prefer an education with a nature and science base, a world school, or a school with an IB program, the directory below will allow you to explore options, and includes contact information and application deadlines for each district. Read on for explanations of some of the different programs offered by district.
Poudre School District
2407 Laporte Ave., Fort Collins 970-482-7420 www.psdschools.org Serving Fort Collins and surrounding areas
Parents interested in sending their children to a school other than their neighborhood school should follow the instructions available at www.psdschools. org/academics/educational-choices/ school-choices and complete the application that can be found there. If total applicants for any school exceed available space for that school, then an automated lottery system will be utilized. Families who have been accepted will be notified and given two school days to accept or decline. Families who are not accepted will be placed on a waiting list if they choose. Visit the PSD website at www.psdschools.org for complete information regarding school choice and registration.

School programs defined
Many educational choices await students in northern Colorado, but deciphering them is sometimes a challenge. Check out these options.
Core Knowledge: Stresses cumulative
learning year to year through a specific outline of curriculum for each grade level. The goal is to prevent repetition and holes in learning from one grade level to the next. Learn more at http://coreknowledge.org/ about-the-curriculum.
International Baccalaureate (IB): IB World Schools teach curriculum that is recognized worldwide, and promotes compassion and curiosity with the goal of creating a better world. See http://www.ibo.org/index. cfm for more information. Non-traditional/Experience Based: These
schools offer smaller class sizes and hands-on learning. Students complete portfolios of work rather than completing assignments for grades.
Magnet/Lab School: These schools offer
traditional curriculum while allowing students interested in the school’s special focus to pursue it to a greater depth. Many magnet schools integrate their magnet focus into all subjects.
Advanced Placement/College Credit:
These are intense courses designed to prepare students for higher education, boost college applications, and in some cases transfer as college credits.
Alternative Program/School: Specialized assistance for students requiring nontraditional learning environments. Charter School: These schools are publicly funded but operate separately from public schools. They are designed to provide unique educational opportunities and held accountable through monitoring of academic results. See www.nea.org/ home/16332.htm for more information. Private School: Private schools are funded primarily through tuition, rather than relying on public tax dollars, and therefore choose their own educational methods.
