Our Mission
Every child realizes their full potential through a rigorous and loving elementary education.

Our Vision
We know potential is everywhere, but opportunity is not. We believe all children deserve access to a great public education. Our commitment to equity and academic rigor means that we help every student achieve. Our culture of love and inclusion means that we welcome, support and challenge everyone with kindness and respect.

A Rocky Mountain Prep (RMP) education is focused on rigor and love in both academics and personal development. All of our work is guided by our “PEAK” core values: Perseverance, Excellence, Adventure, and Kindness. We believe that clear and consistent values for scholars and staff, and a strong culture rooted in those values, form the foundation of great schools.

All RMP scholars receive personalized learning through our rigorous, college-prep curriculum. Our focus on math and literacy education, as well as the sciences and the arts, ensures that all RMP scholars are prepared for success in secondary schools and four-year colleges.

RMP intentionally builds a culture designed to prepare scholars for long-term success in high school, college, and beyond. Our PEAK values of Perseverance, Excellence, Adventure, and Kindness define the culture that we cherish, cultivate, and grow at RMP – for scholars and staff alike.

Perseverance – We work hard in the face of challenges.


Excellence – We try our best on everything we do.


Adventure – We have the confidence to explore, try new ideas, and take risks.


Kindness – We treat ourselves and others with love and respect.

Our scholars are constantly working on character development, using the PEAK values in their interactions with themselves, peers, teachers, and administrators. Our staff members model these same PEAK values through their work with each other, by building relationships with scholars, and by promoting joyful learning and rigorous work.

We actively work to support our scholars and staff in living these values through our school’s rituals and traditions, including daily community meetings, award celebrations, our school-wide weekly “PEAK Parties” and always shouting out scholars who model PEAK values throughout the day.

Research clearly demonstrates that the most important learning happens before a child reaches third grade.

RMP is committed to ensuring our youngest scholars are set up for success. In fact, RMP is the largest charter provider of prekindergarten in the Metro-Denver region. We are proud to offer pre-K and free full-day kindergarten programs at all four of our campuses.

All of our pre-K programs focus on developing the whole child. We know that providing time for play, social-emotional development, centers, and dance supports our scholars in their development.

RMP’s curriculum allows teachers to provide excellent learning experiences that drive scholar success. Our teachers are recruited from all over the country, and we offer teaching positions to less than ten percent of all those who apply. All of our teachers are passionate about supporting all of their scholars, and they get to know them on a personal and academic level. Our teachers receive more than 250 hours of professional development training each year to ensure they deliver intentional and informed lessons to all scholars.

RMP also offers a unique fellowship program, which gives future teachers the opportunity to grow their craft while providing scholars with the experience of having two teachers in a classroom. Through a partnership with the Relay Graduate School of Education, fellows earn their Master of Arts in Teaching over the course of two years while working with lead teachers to deliver quality instruction to our scholars. This supports both the educator in their learning as a professional while providing further classroom support to reduce the teacher to student ratio. Additionally, it increases the opportunities for personalized learning experiences.
