High Rockies Community School is a public Kâ8 charter school in Fairplay serving families across Park County. Our community-embedded school offers individualized educational options in a safe, diverse, multi-age environment where students and teachers learn together.
Guided by our mission, we focus on playful, exploratory learning and a strong culture of collaboration. Students build knowledge through hands-on, interdisciplinary projects that connect core academics with real life in the High Rockies, and they are encouraged to practice resilience as they take on new challenges.
As a small rural school, we rely on community support to sustain this kind of learning â keeping class sizes small, supporting diverse learners, and offering the materials, field experiences, and staffing needed to help every child thrive.
Our community-embedded schools provide individualized educational options where students and teachers engage in playful, exploratory learning by creating a culture of collaboration in a safe, diverse, multi age environment. Our students are encouraged to build knowledge through hands-on, interdisciplinary activities and display resilience in the face of new challenges.
High Rockies Community School was created by educators and families who believed rural mountain communities deserve public school options that are flexible, inclusive, and deeply connected to place. In response to limited local choices and the unique realities of rural education, HRCS was designed as a community-embedded school where collaboration, exploration, and hands-on learning are central.
Our multi-age, relationship-driven model supports students as they grow academically and personally, helping them build knowledge, confidence, and resilience through meaningful, interdisciplinary learning.
