Rock Ledge Ranch

Alternative In Person School

Colorado Springs , CO

Nestled beneath the iconic rock formations of Garden of the Gods, School at the RANCH is a 34-week hands-on educational enrichment program for homeschoolers grades K-6. Following in the footsteps of the Chambers family who opened one of the area’s first school at Rock Ledge Ranch in 1875, we foster a love of learning by focusing on nature, culture, and history. School at the RANCH is state-funded, tuition-free enrichment instruction for homeschoolers. This is an immersive outdoor program that uses the rich resources of Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site and Garden of the Gods to Raise students’ Awareness of Nature, Culture, and History. We meet 9am-3pm, one day a week for 34 weeks, beginning August 21st, 2023. (K-1st on Mondays, 2nd-3rd on Tuesdays and 4th-6th on Wednesdays) Each week’s lessons are designed to engage the students’ curiosity and develop a sense of wonder about a specific theme. The lessons are taught almost exclusively outdoors, using art, literature, games, and hands-on scientific exploration.
