Moffat School and the Crestone Charter School: Exciting Choices Available in the Moffat Consolidated School District.

The Moffat Consolidated School District has a great deal to offer, both because of and despite its small size. With only a little more than 200 students in the district, our schools provide excellent teacher-pupil ratios and a great deal of individualized instruction. Moffat is the smallest district in the state of Colorado to offer a charter school option. The Moffat School, a Pre-K through 12th grade school on one campus, offers a more “traditional” school program, while the Crestone Charter School (CCS), located about ten miles east of Moffat, provides a K-12 program based on an “expeditionary” charter.

Moffat School offers the Core Knowledge curriculum for grades K-8, a college-prep high school curriculum with excellent electives, including foreign language, industrial arts,art, drama, music and computer technology in all classes. CCS emphasizes individual education plans for each student, outdoor education, and exciting educational field trips. Both schools have a rigorous approach to student success and academic achievement, with a wide range of athletic, outdoor, and community programs.

Moffat students participate in a variety of academic, artistic, and athletic programs throughout the San Luis Valley, such as Knowledge Bowl, Future Business Leaders of America, State Science Fair, History Day, “We the People” Constitutional Competition, National Ocean Science Bowl, sports teams, art shows, skiing, snowboarding and more. CCS students participate in community mentorships in areas as wide ranging as
clothing design, foreign language, martial arts, law enforcement, office clerkships, snowboarding, art, construction, horseback riding, creative writing, and dance. Students raise funds for yearly field trips that take them throughout the nation and the world.
