Student Life

Student life in the Manitou Springs School District is vibrant, inclusive, and deeply rooted in a strong sense of community. With small class sizes and dedicated staff, students are known, supported, and encouraged to grow both academically and personally. From the first day of kindergarten to high school graduation, students benefit from meaningful relationships with teachers, peers, and mentors who care about their success. Our schools prioritize deep learning and real-world experiences, offering everything from outdoor education and arts to AP courses and career and technical programs.

Outside the classroom, students participate in a wide range of clubs, athletics, service projects, and beloved school traditions that build spirit and connection. Whether it's hiking Red Mountain, performing in a school musical, or competing on the field, every student has the opportunity to explore their passions and build confidence. Supported by an engaged community and active parent groups, Manitou Springs students thrive in an environment that fosters creativity, character, and lifelong curiosity.
