Rather than ticking off a curriculum checklist, students apply
knowledge and skills in real-world contexts that truly inspire them.
Students learn essential skills such as reading, writing, math, and
science (research, reasoning and recording). Students and teachers
work together to tailor curriculum to each student’s unique
readiness level, learning style, academic interests and passions.
GrAdes: K-8; Ages 4.5-14
Exploring outside the classroom is vital in learning to integrate,
retain and manipulate information. While others consider field
trips supplementary or recreational, here they are an integral part

Montessori School of Denver is a nationally recognized
independent Montessori school. Our mission is simple, yet
powerful – “We are a dynamic educational environment
empowering students to use diverse knowledge and experiences
to reach their full potential and do good in the world.” Here, we
create an engaging learning environment where children work
independently and in groups as they learn to have empathy for each
other and for the global community. Our teachers nurture each
student’s learning, and encourage them to think independently,
become effective problem-solvers, and develop a strong sense
of self. Our students consistently demonstrate high levels of
academic achievement, confidence, compassion and multicultural
understanding. Founded more than 40 years ago, we are the first
Montessori school in Colorado to be accredited by the American
Montessori Society and the only one accredited by the Association
of Colorado Independent Schools. Call us and come visit. You’ll see
a whole campus of global do-gooders in action.

Gifted Children
“Since 1984, A Home Where
Gifted Children Flourish”
At Ricks Center, we believe that knowledge is a means of education,
not its end. Our goal is for your child to become someone who
finds joy in learning, who integrates acquired knowledge into
meaningful aspects of life and appreciates his or her own selfworth, as an individual and as a member of a community.

Featuring thematically integrated curriculum, the Ricks Center
program allows each child to integrate the use of all of his or her
abilities, including cognition, emotion and perception, into learning.
As children grow, pace, volume and complexity are differentiated
for a community of gifted learners. Independence is encouraged
and students are provided with sophisticated learning experiences
that require application of skills for advanced comprehension.
As a division of the Morgridge College of Education at the
University of Denver, we undertake University goals, including the
empowerment of our students to imagine new possibilities for
themselves and the world. Call or inquire online to learn how a
Ricks Center education might be right for your child.
