Fort Collins Schools
Part of what makes the Fort Collins area such a great place to raise a family is our wonderful school systems. We offer suburb public schools, as well as numerous private school choices to fit your family’s needs and wants.
Deadlines are coming up to get your children enrolled in the Poudre School System Summer Programs. Registration is going on now for Secondary summer school, which offers students a chance to catch up or get ahead -and graduate early or start earning college credits early, so talk to your current school principal if your student needs or wants to get some summer credits.
The popular Explore Enrichment Program registration deadline is April 20, 2010, and it is a place for elementary students to challenge themselves with creativity and new ideas. It is two, one week sessions for June 7-11 and Jun 14-18 and classes fill up quickly on a first come, first serve basis-so be sure to sign up quickly
Also offered is the Summer Music Program 2010, for 5th through 12th grad students at all levels of musical study. For any of your children involved in band, this will probably be a wonderful summer experience to strengthen and enrich their skills. Registration is also going on now, and your child does not have to be in the school band in order to participate-just bring a love of music and your own instrument (or school loaned instrument).
