Mapleton Public Schools - A District of Choice

At Mapleton Public Schools, we believe school choice is the first step toward academic success. In Mapleton, there are no "neighborhood schools." You choose your school; we provide the transportation.

All Mapleton schools are small, safe, family-like learning environments where teachers discover what students already know and focus on what they need to learn. All schools are also small-by-design, meaning each school allows students to master content standards through a unique lens. School models include Expeditionary Learning (EL), International Baccalaureate, Big Picture, performing and visual arts, STEM, project-based learning, University Partnership, Young Adult, and online, to name a few. 

In Mapleton, there is a school for every student. Which school will you choose? 

We do our very best to place your child in your first-choice school. However, if we are unable to place your child in your first-choice school, we will make every effort to place your child in your second or third-choice school. If you would like to place your child on our monthly waitlist for your first choice school, please contact the Welcome Center, at 303.853.1780.

Transportation Support

If you live within Mapleton's district boundaries, we will provide transportation to your school of choice (if you live a mile or more from your school of choice). This applies to all students living within district boundaries and more than one mile away from their school of choice. Learn more about Mapleton's comprehensive transportation system.
