​​ Many private schools are available here in Northern Colorado.  Both religious based and secular private schools here offer a range of programs from Pre K-12^th grade.  Some of the advantages of a private school education include:

​

  - Smaller class sizes and

student/teacher ratios

  - Teachers and administrators who know students personally can address learning issues and disciplinary issues quickly

  - Teachers and administrators with the power to address disciplinary issues

  - Parents that are paying for their students educations tend to be more involved and hold their children to a higher standard

  - Statistically children from private schools have lower drop-out rates and fewer issues with drugs and violence

  - For parents choosing a religious private school, the school curriculum will re-enforce the parent's moral and religious worldview

​​

The biggest drawback to a private school education is usually cost. In addition to paying for the public schools (that their children are NOT attending) through property taxes and fees to the state, parents who choose to send their children to a private school have to pay tuition to the school. Most of these private schools offer payment plans and many offer scholarships and discounts.
