About us

Vision

As a community, we are dedicated to preparing our students to be lifelong learners who strive to achieve their full potential

Mission 

At Coyote Ridge, we provide a welcoming atmosphere which supports and encourages family and community partnerships. We are a collaborative staff using innovative and creative teaching practices to meet the needs and enhance the strengths of all students. Students develop their individual talents, critical thinking, and technology skills by actively engaging in the learning process. Staff, parents, and students share the responsibility for ensuring that our students achieve high standards, that they are globally minded, and are prepared to positively impact an ever-changing world. 

Why Choose Us? 

Our Building Thinking Classrooms model immerses students in collaborative, rigorous tasks that enhance their teamwork and problem-solving skills daily. 

Through our grant-funded sustainability program, students adopt a mindset focused on environmental stewardship, engaging in composting and zero-waste practices.

We nurture leadership through our peer mentorship program, student-led morning announcements, and student led clubs. 

Our partnership with the Mwebaza Foundation connects us with our sister school in Uganda, fostering global awareness and impact. 

In our cutting-edge Makerspace, students explore open-ended challenges with access to 3D printers and robots, developing inquiry-based thinking and problem-solving skills.

Students have an opportunity to apply their writing skills through the creation and publishing of the “Coyote Times”, our student run school newspaper that releases a new edition monthly.

Our students are encouraged to embody our PACK traits—Perseverance, Accountability, Courage, and Kindness—integrating these values into their daily lives. 

Students consistently achieve academic excellence, with performance levels in both literacy and math exceeding the 95th percentile when compared to other schools in Colorado.
