Fountain Valley School of Colorado is a private boarding and day school located in the Rocky Mountains near Colorado Springs. The school promotes student values of open-mindedness, courage and curiosity. The location allows students to learn lessons in self-reliance with copious outdoor activity possibilities as well as opportunities to practice compassion with service-based projects and classes. Fountain Valley School also has a Mountain campus about two hours away, and students have an opportunity to attend retreats and outings there.

The student to faculty ratio is kept low at 5 to 1, and the average core class size is 11. This provides faculty more opportunity to get to know their students, and the students to feel like the school is a part of their family. Residence halls for boarding students help them become a part of the international school community, as well as serving as a constant study group and a readily available place to interact with faculty on a level not achieved in the classroom.

The goal at Fountain Valley School is to provide students with an education in life as well as academics, and to prepare future leaders with a limitless vision of themselves and the world around them.
