Welcome to the 2026–27 year

Our doors opened this week and the building was full of the good kind of noise. New families, returning students, and educators who have spent the summer planning are all finding their footing together.

This year brings a few changes worth noting. Our Lectores class is growing, CORE has added the Entrepreneurial VentureLab on Thursdays, and every class now has Spanish built into the week rather than added on.

What to bring

A water bottle, a lunch, layers for outdoor time, and a good attitude. We spend part of nearly every day outside, and Gunnison weather makes its own decisions.

The rhythm of the week

Tuesdays lean academic, with Bible study, science, history, and math. Thursdays lean experiential, with VentureLab, book club, science exploration, and hands-on work. Home days are where the learning takes root, and we plan for two to four hours of assigned work for CORE students.
