Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen

Outstanding, simply OUTSTANDING! Small class sizes, core-knowledge curriculum and a CHARTER School so not bound by some workbook or teaching to the test as most public schools do.

We love the curriculum at RMAE as well as the teachers, staff and administration. This school truly values parental involvement and the positive influence is evident in the quality of work produced by the students. We are so happy that we have RMAE to call as our school home through middle school.

In an area filled with great schools, RMAE stands out for the quality of the teachers, and their dedication, the cirriculum (including the specials classes that are offered for all grades), and the CORE values the school embraces. My children will enter high school with a great foundation and the ability to take advanced classes. The small class size, dress code, and K-8 environment make this a great school for any kid!

We have been at RMAE since kindergarten, my daughter is in 6th grade now. We have been extremely happy with the school and staff. The reasons we chose the school were because of the Core Knowledge curriculum, the smaller class sizes, the parent involvement, and finally the dress code. We stayed at the school for all of those reasons, plus one more: the fabulous teachers. Most of the staff, including the front office staff have contributed to a first rate education.

We love the Core Knowledge curriculum at RMAE. It's structured so that no material is repeated or overlooked as students progress from preschool through 8th grade.

If you want to give your children the best education our community has to offer, strongly consider RMAE. My children have attended since 2nd & 3rd grade and now in middle school. The middle school transition has been seamless and drama free. The RMAE middle school teachers are a great team of dedicated, caring, intelligent individuals. Wonderful, attentive administration, very involved parents, warm, welcoming environment overall. Worth the committment and a long commute for our family.

If you believe in an environment that enhances academic and personal growth for your children, then RMAE is the place for you. The faculty, administration, and staff are fully vested in each child and family at RMAE. The individualized education plans for struggling students (outside of special educaiton) is unprecedented. Some may criticize RMAE for not having a gym, but here are many of us that believe in outdoor recreation for our children. RMAE adjoins almost 3000 acres of open space in the Rocky Mountains--it does not get any better than that.

The teachers and staff who work at RMAE do so because they LOVE what they do. Excellence isn't something we strive for because it sounds good or because it looks good on paper, it's something we strive for because it's what's best for our students. And above all, we love forming lasting relationships with our students. We're not just cranking out "good students"; we're helping to mold upstanding citizens.

Both my daughter and son are getting a great education from teachers who care about the students. The culture is great. Parents get involved at all levels of the school, so the school becomes what the parents make it. Core Knowledge is a great program. The school is always looking for support from the communitee, so it is a great place to get involved either timewise or financially (or both). My wife enjoys being able to volunteer in the classroom and I love giving my financial support to something that will pay back for years to come. The school fills up fast so make sure to get your name in early.

We have three children at RMAE in grades 2 and 3, all have been there since kindergarten. There are several options in Evergreen and we recognize RMAE as the most connected to the families and the best fit for those who wish to be involved with the schools overall success. By its nature as a charter school we have our own school board and are able to address issues at a local level. In addition parents and families are involved which only ads to the excellent all around experience. Our director has a high level of knowledge of education at both the intellectual level and the practical level. He interacts with students, teachers,and parents daily. Our kids love school - they actually got upset with me one day when I wanted to pull them out for a day to ski! Academically the kids are rock solid and by comparison to our friends in other schools - our kids are quite a bit ahead in the level of work they perform.
