Spanning over 1,100 acres of Prairie with breathtaking views of and easy access to the Rocky Mountains, Fountain Valley School of Colorado offers an unmatched experience for boarding, day, and international students in Colorado Springs. Campus resources include 10 spacious Adoble-style residence halls, gourmet dining services, robust campus-wide technology, and state-of-the-art science, art, and athletic facilities. Additionally, the School's 40-acre Class of 1969 Mountain Campus near Buena Vista, Colo. encourages students to get outside their comfort zones, engage in place-based learning, and connect with themselves, their classmates, and nature. As a result, FVS alumni go on to attend some of the most prestigious colleges and universities in the world and find great success professionally.

Fountain Valley believes in providing a unique, comprehensive college preparatory education that prepares students for the world beyond the classroom. FVS's global community thrives on interdisciplinary learning, with academic departments working together to provide a challenging curriculum while leaning into aspects of the Great American West that are specific to each grade level. Students get outside, using the land and surrounding areas to connect traditional learning with an emphasis on conceptual application.

With a barn of over 60 horses, FVS offers opportunities for coed equestrian endeavors and western riding, further enhancing the connection between students and the stunning landscape that surrounds the School. Similar to the School's educational model, FVS athletics support a variety of traditional and Western pursuits, as students marvel at the 60,000-square-foot Julie and Spencer Penrose Athletic Center complete with the largest indoor high school climbing wall in the nation, and at the 12-miles of mountain biking trails that criss-cross a vast Prairie campus.

We invite you to explore what makes our school truly unique in the academic landscape.
