Private Schools Boulder, CO
The Watershed School is among the top private schools in Boulder by offering an innovative private middle school and high school experience. Our intimate class settings offer your children a more in-depth and personal education. Our educators strive to bring the best out in our students through meaningful community service, learning experiences, and by using the cultural, natural, and human resources of Boulder County.
Outside the Traditional Classroom
We want our students to learn on a deep level by incorporating real-life experiences in our curriculum. Weekly learning expeditions include visiting local:
- Farms
- Businesses
- Government offices
- Non-profit organizations
- And More
Our Class Sizes
Our classes are taught on a much more intimate level than those at traditional public schools. We have a wide array of courses, so the class sizes vary, but the student-to-teacher ratio is generally 9 to 1. This ensures that Watershed students receive the care and attention they need to succeed!
Alternative School Classes

- Urban Development

…and many more classes that engage students in fieldwork, service, and real-world context for their learning!
