Kudos for your continued commitment to our School's Community Pledge and COVID-19 mitigation measures. Your efforts have been instrumental in guaranteeing the continuation of in-person learning for all students and faculty so far this academic year!
Here at The Colorado Springs School, we not only strive to prepare students for a dynamic world, but also to demonstrate qualities of preparedness in all that we do as role models for our children. Though it is our sole intention to promote in-person learning as much as possible throughout the 2021-2022 school year, we do recognize pivoting to eLearning as a distinct possibility given the recent spike in cases experienced beyond our campus walls.
