KIPP Sunshine Peak Elementary (ECE – 4)
Join Us!
KIPP Sunshine Peak Elementary students live and learn in our school’s values of love, honor, curiosity, activism, and growth. We support all learners and celebrate the uniqueness of each child – as a Team and Family we will shine! KIPP Sunshine Peak Elementary offers a full-day Early Childhood Education (ECE) program, full-day Kindergarten, and first through fourth grade.
At KIPP Sunshine Peak Elementary, we believe in building an inclusive school family where all students can thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. To achieve this, we offer two language pathways for our students. These programs ensure students first learn to speak, read, and write in their heritage language, while also learning their non-dominant language. Our structure also allows our students of all language backgrounds to be in one homeroom class to foster relationships across languages and cultures.
If you have any questions about the school, please contact us at (720) 452-2572 or fill out this form to request more information.
