Be Your Best Self from the Head of School
BE YOUR BEST SELF FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL Dear Prospective Student, Why Fountain Valley School of Colorado? My answer to this question deepens with each passing year. As a boarding school graduate myself, I experienced firsthand the value and benefits of living and learning with a diverse group of peers in a setting that is inspiring, challenging, and rewarding. Having worked at other boarding and day schools, I can tell you that Fountain Valley School is unique. Nowhere else have I experienced a school that so fully embraces its sense of place. Our stunning setting on 1,100 acres of prairie at the foot of Pikes Peak informs our curriculum and inspires all who live, work, study, and play here. Nowhere else have I known faculty as invested. They are experts in their fields, and have chosen Fountain Valley School and embraced the boarding school lifestyle. Our faculty are here because they are devoted to developing the whole student in their combined roles as teachers, coaches, advisers, and mentors. And they appreciate working and living at this beautiful and inspiring place. And nowhere else have I seen a school as accepting and inclusive, and a community so committed to cheering on those who dare to try something new. Further, Fountain Valley School is truly a global community with students from 15 countries and 23 states. We boast a stellar global education program that has put the School on the map for its innovative curriculum and travel exchange opportunities. Fountain Valley is a special place, and I invite you to come visit and see for yourself.
