Flatirons Elementary School

A neighborhood school emphasizing academics

Flatirons Elementary School is a unique school that significantly contributes to meeting the academic, developmental and social needs of its students through a challenging academic course of study and related multifaceted activities.

The school community provides students with the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, skills and inspiration needed to become lifelong learners who are curious, creative and analytical, adaptable and motivated to fulfill their highest potential.

As a result of their Flatirons experience, students become confident individuals who value diversity and seek out life's challenges and adventures while acting in a socially responsible manner.
