Our focus is on the needs of the students. Our school is respected in the community for the professionalism and dedication of the staff.

Learning

Our goal is to challenge all students to become lifelong learners. Using the Boulder Valley School District's exemplary curriculum, teachers design lessons that provide personalized instruction for each student. The core curriculum is designed to provide competencies in reading, writing, math, science/health and social studies while promoting an awareness of multicultural diversity through art, music and physical education for all students each week.

Total Technology

Our technology curriculum is supported by a grant from the State of Colorado. Ryan is recognized by the school district and community for its innovative application of technology to learning. Students use computers in their classrooms, library and in our new computer labs to enhance learning. Our curriculum includes the application of multimedia to problem-solving, writing, math and creative thinking. Instruction is provided in the use of CD-ROMs, the Internet, keyboarding and electronic encyclopedias.
