Rocky Mountain Leadership School
Who We Are
Rocky Mountain Leadership School is a Cognia accredited Colorado charter school situated on 70 scenic acres of forest near Mt. Blue Sky, an alpine setting that provides an ideal environment for experiential learning—exploration of the natural habitat to enrich and reinforce classroom instruction.
Designed for male and gender non-conforming DYS youth ages 16-20, who are experiencing:
• Emotional and behavioral disorders
• Gang involvement
• Substance abuse and mental health needs
• Family dysfunction and abuse histories
What We Do
Rocky Mountain Leadership School provides educational experiences which remediate, maintain, and improve academic, intellectual, and social functioning. We also provide:
• Supportive relationships between students, teachers, and staff in a rich adult to student ratio.
• Individual assessments and Individualized Learning Plans designed for each student, or IEP when already in place from district of residence.
• Prescriptive educational experiences to address academic deficiencies, learning disabilities, and emotional disturbances.
• Liaison services between the Approved Facility School prior to placement and after discharge from the program.
• Career and Technical Education that emphasizes training, certification, and employability.
Online Curriculum
To meet the unique and diverse educational needs of our students, we utilize the Edmentum online curriculum, a Colorado state aligned, Common Core curriculum in core areas – math, language arts, social studies, and science – implemented in a blended learning environment where in-person teachers provide direct instruction to students through the online learning platform.
• Designed to emphasize priority standards/power standards concepts and skills in both instruction and practice
• Provides relevant student facing materials, including worksheets, guided notes, embedded digital activities and assessments.
Edmentum also includes EdOptions virtual teachers as a temporary solution when in-person teachers are not available or when students are in need of extra support in a particular subject.
