Creekside is a unique, dynamic school in South Boulder that hosts an international population and has close ties with the University of Colorado. Our mission emphasizes strong academics and a caring environment. We have an active parent community involved in our daily program.

Students come here from the surrounding neighborhoods and much of the University of Colorado's family housing. We have students from around the world. We have 25 different languages spoken in the building at this time. Because of our international environment, all children learn that uniqueness and multiculturalism are qualities which are respected and valued in our school community.

Art, Physical Education and Music teachers integrate the classroom content and academic subjects into their instruction so that children experience a continuation of classroom activities throughout the day in a meaningful manner. These fine arts teachers arrange an annual culminating performance for each grade level that demonstrates the children's acquisition of knowledge and skills.

Academic programming is provided to all children on a differentiated basis, regardless of their performance level. Special programming is available for talented and gifted children as well as children who need specialized support. Our balanced literacy program is supported by master level teachers and a 26,300+ volume leveled book room. Intensive small group reading instruction is provided each day for every child. Children who are reading above grade level are challenged to continue to expand their comprehension and vocabulary, and children who are struggling are provided with necessary supports to bring them to grade level. Children with Individualized Education Plans are provided with special services within the classroom and in a resource setting.

Creekside is a creative, vibrant, diverse, and motivating setting for all children.
