Boulder Journey School is a private school that welcomes over 200 children and their families.  Students range in age from 6 weeks to 5 years. Our school is open 10 hours a day, 5 days a week, 12 months a year.  Complementing the 14 classrooms in our 17,000 square foot building are an art studio, a materials studio, and a theater. All classrooms open to outdoor learning areas.  Diverse environments and materials school-wide are designed to deepen children’s investigations into the world around them. 

We value adults’ learning as well as children’s learning and have developed high-quality learning opportunities for educators as well as for children.  In partnership with the University of Colorado Denver and the Colorado Department of Education, we offer a Teacher Education Program that offers Intern teachers the opportunity to earn a Master’s degree in Education and Human Development and a Colorado Teaching License.

All of our teachers engage in research as part of their work, and our faculty is respected for its writings and presentations on this research. Boulder Journey School offers conferences, study tours, and consulting for educators throughout the U.S. and around the world. We have created strong collaborations and are internationally recognized for leadership and innovation in early childhood education.   

For over 20 years, Boulder Journey School has been inspired by a strong relationship with educators from the world-renowned schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy, and intensive study of their philosophy and values.  Closer to home, the work of Boulder-based educators, Frances and David Hawkins has informed our educational approaches and ideas.
