At Fountain Valley School of Colorado, we believe in exploration, discovery, the power of the natural world, and the impact of a well-rounded education. We invite you to explore what makes our school truly unique at our Spring 2024 Open House.
Discover our unique educational institution nestled in the heart of the American West. Spanning over 1,100 acres of Prairie with breathtaking views of and easy access to the Rocky Mountains, FVS offers an unmatched experience for boarding, day, and international students in Colorado Springs. Additionally, our 40-acre Class of 1969 Mountain Campus near Buena Vista, Colo. encourages students to get outside their comfort zones, engage in place-based learning, and connect with themselves, their classmates, and nature.
We believe in providing a unique, comprehensive education that prepares our students for the world beyond the classroom. Our global community thrives on interdisciplinary learning, with academic departments working together to provide a challenging curriculum while leaning into aspects of the Great American West that are specific to each grade level. Our students get outside, using the land and surrounding areas to connect traditional learning with an emphasis on conceptual application.
With a barn of over 60 horses, we offer opportunities for coed equestrian endeavors and hands-on ranching, further enhancing the connection between our students and the stunning landscape that surrounds us. Similar to our educational model, FVS athletics support a variety of traditional and Western pursuits, as students marvel at our 60,000-square-foot Julie and Spencer Penrose Athletic Center complete with the largest indoor high school climbing wall in the nation, and at the 12-miles of mountain biking trails that criss-cross our vast Prairie campus.
