Overview
What We Believe
- Learning is active - Students are scientists, urban planners, historians and activists, investigating real community problems and collaborating with peers to develop creative, actionable solutions.
- Learning is challenging - Students at all levels are pushed and supported to do more than they think they can. Excellence is expected in the quality of their work and thinking.
- Learning is meaningful - Students apply their skills and knowledge to real-world issues and problems and make positive change in their communities. They see the relevance of their learning and are motivated by understanding that learning has purpose.
- Learning is public - Through formal structures of presentation, exhibition, critique, and data analysis, students and teachers build a shared vision of pathways to achievement.
- Learning is collaborative - School leaders, teachers, students and families share rigorous expectations for quality work, achievement and behavior. Trust, respect, responsibility, and joy in learning permeate the school culture.

No matter what your child's passions are or what unique learning opportunity they're looking for, there's a home for them in Adams 12 Five Star Schools. If you are starting your journey with us or transitioning from a different school, you are invited to discover all that our district has to offer to elevate your child's education. Make sure you understand your enrollment options and then find the best fit for your child.
Step 1: Understanding Your Enrollment Options
New to the district and need to enroll now?
In-district families who wish to attend their neighborhood boundary school can use our boundary locator to determine which school their student will attend.
Looking for a school outside your designated attendance boundary?
In-district families who wish to attend a school other than their boundary school and out-of-district families who wish to attend a Five Star District school can apply for admissions via the Choice Program during the specified timelines. Choice is closed for the 2019-2020 school year. We are currently accepting applications for the 2020-2021 school year.
Please Note: In extenuating circumstances in-district students can request a change of school assignment through the family-initiated school transfer process.
Joining Adams 12 Five Star Schools from out of district?
Out-of-district families who wish to attend a school in the Five Star District can apply for admissions via the Choice program as family-initiated transfers are only available to in-district families.

Gather the required documentation.
Documentation needed includes:
- Parent/Guardian Photo ID

Step 3: Complete the Online Enrollment Application
