Prospective Students

Admission Process

Thank you for your interest in Boulder Preparatory High School! We look forward to meeting with you. The following steps will outline our admissions process:

Step 1: Fill out the initial INQUIRY FORM to reserve your seat at Boulder Prep.

Step 2: Complete the following forms*:

STUDENT QUESTIONNAIRE
PARENT/GUARDIAN QUESTIONNAIRE
SKILLS ASSESSMENT to help us with course placement.
INDIGO SURVEY. Respondant Login Code: 466014RGN. The Indigo Survey is a tool that we use to help get to know a student's strengths, personality style, and motivators. Learn more about the Indigo assessment here. Results of the survey will be e-mailed to you and Boulder Prep. The survey will take approximately 45 minutes.

Step 3: Once we receive the completed forms, our team will reach out to schedule an Orientation Meeting. This meeting will give us an opportunity to get to know the student better and review Boulder Prep's programs and services.You will have 30 days to complete a new student orientation/enrollment meeting before your seat is released for another student. You may also release your seat after the orientation meeting if you decide Boulder Prep is not what you’re looking for.

Step 4: Once the orientation is completed and all parties agree that a transfer would be appropriate, we will move forward with enrollment. Families within the Boulder Valley School District need to formally check-out with the registrar at their home schools. Families coming from outside of the school district will need to complete an enrollment form online through the Boulder Valley School District. Click HERE for the ONLINE ENROLLMENT LINK.

More About the Orientation Meeting

As a charter school, Boulder Prep is a school of choice-students choose to attend Boulder Prep rather than continue to be enrolled in a home high school. The word choice carries a great deal of meaning in our community. During the orientation process, we will discuss how the choice to attend Boulder Prep carries both rewards and opportunities to fully-engaged students. We will also discuss the responsibilities and the consequences that follow when a student chooses not to follow through with their commitment to education, community, and themselves. Moreover, when a student chooses Boulder Prep, they are choosing to participate in a community that is always open and welcoming and never comes with financial or social obstacles that might prevent a student from choosing us.

A Note on Students with Discipline Referrals, Suspensions, & Expulsions

Boulder Prep has a waiver that allows us to enroll students who have been suspended or expelled, so students can continue their pursuit of education. We also accept students who are experiencing disciplinary difficulties in their current schools. Our unique charter allows us to be more creative than traditional high schools with research-based strategies aimed at reducing and eliminating problematic behavior by keeping students in school.

Non-Discrimination Policy

Boulder Preparatory High School does not discriminate on the basis of disability, race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, national origin, religion, ancestry, need for special education services, age, marital status, genetic information, or physical characteristics in admissions, access to, treatment, or employment in educational programs or activities.

Students with an active Individual Education Plan (IEP) have the same opportunity to enroll at Boulder Prep as any other student. Once the initial inquiry form is completed and a seat is reserved for a student, Boulder Prep will review an IEP to determine whether the school can deliver a free appropriate public education (FAPE).
