Education

Mission

The mission of the El Pueblo School, is to meet the diverse needs of our students by focusing on the development of the whole learner within a safe and structured environment of educational excellence.

Vision

The vision of the El Pueblo School is to:

Purposefully deliver a proven, rigorous, relevant, and reliable, academic curriculum that actively engages the student as a life long learner.

Offer a diversified and creative learning environment,

hold each student accountable; and

prepare the student for successful transitions in life.

El Pueblo...an Adolescent Treatment Community operates the El Pueblo School, (approved as an alternative school by the Colorado Department of Education), an on-site school that ensures continuous learning for every child. Residents receive 6 hours of educational programming daily, Monday through Friday and work at their own level and pace in an individualized instruction program. Residents have social/behavioral and instructional needs that must be addressed in the educational setting. Residents are scheduled for classes according to both social/behavioral interventions and instructional needs. Record review, testing, classroom observation and assessment determine instructional needs. Residents earn education credits that can be transferred to the next school district in which the child may reside. In addition to academic instruction, educational programming includes physical education, and basic life skills.

Teachers are State of Colorado certified teachers. Paraprofessionals provide teacher aide services and individual tutoring to students. Teamwork is emphasized with both the teachers and youth service workers. Collaboration and cooperation is foundational to educational services.
