    OUR PROGRAMS:        
   

Boulder Prep has set high standards for students because they are the leaders of tomorrow. We require students to pass classes with greater than 70% proficiency. College acceptance, service learning and a senior portfolio are some of the many requirements for graduation.

For students who come to us less than prepared for a college prep curriculum, we have a direct instruction program that allows them to become grade leve proficient in both Reading and Math in less than one academic year. Once students are engaged and proficient, we challenge them with accelerated, innovative college preparatory classes that meet BVSD core requirements. Classes are 90 minutes, and we operate on a year round 8-week block system. Classes begin at 8:30am and end at 2:30pm Monday through Thursday. On Fridays, all students participate in a Life Skills program from 8:30-12:30.
