FOR THE CHILDREN
To be enrolled in a Colorado school, a child must be at least 5 years old by September 1st. Check with the school for other requirements.
Colorado is unique because it is an Open Enrollment state. The Public Schools of Choice law (C.R.S. 22-36-101) allows resident pupils to enroll at schools in Colorado districts for which they are not zoned. Also referred to as Open Enrollment.
Your School Choices:
1. Attend the public school zoned for your neighborhood
2.Attend a public school out of your zone/district utilizing Open Enrollment
3.Attend a public charter school
4.Home-school
5.Attend a private school
