UP has the most amazing families and staff! Everyone is so supportive, and caring! There are many programs at Upark that just would not happen if we didn't have all the support.

I love University Park Elementary School because of the caring community in which it supports. From healthy eating, to a world view on education, and life long learning University Park promotes a spectrum positive life and academic lessons on a daily basis.

As a parent, I have made the choice to send both of my kids to UPark. The academics go above and beyond what is required of a public school, and the teachers, staff, families and community are all committed to seeing that UPark is a great place for our kids to learn and grow!

The atmosphere at U-Park is dynamic, supportive, and fun. There are so many opportunities for learning beyond the standard classroom setting--such as the band. The PTA is very active and involved and the staff and teachers are wonderful! [I am a paraprofessional, in my 2nd year here.] The school is also very focused on healthy living and healthy eating, and on U-Park being a very safe place to be.

I love the school and the taechers

Founded in the late 1880's as a teaching school for the University of Denver, University Park has served its community as a fabulous learning environment for both neighborhood students and now students from across the city. University of Denver students still stay involved with the school, offering an award winning after school tutoring program. I currently have two children attending University Park and could not be happier with the community or the school staff....they are amazing!

One of the reasons I love University Park so much is the support I have received for the physical education program. The parents and staff care about wellness for the whole child: physically through the belief in nutrition education and physical education, mentally throughhigh academic expectations and emotionally through bullyproofing and the use of the 'Brainwise' curriculum.
