Mapleton is not your ordinary school district.
In Mapleton, there are no "neighborhood schools." This means that instead of being automatically enrolled in your neighborhood school, we invite you to choose your school from our full menu of schools based on the learning style, interests, and passions of your child. Mapleton offers schools that are small-by-design with different education models, including Expeditionary Learning (EL), International Baccalaureate, STEM, University Partnership, Big Picture, Young Adult, and online, to name a few.
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, 303.853.1780.
