we
are a school where kids don't
fall through the cracks
where is school that pays attention to individual
Needs school that celebrates
diversity Caprock Academy
really alone among its peers in the sense
that it's completely Grand Valley
grown this is a school built by Grand
Valley families for Grand Valley families
we have great students most of them are here because
they want to be here they want the edge
station at the school offers they want the environment that
the school offers whenever I walk down the halls
and Watkins my classrooms every day there's
just such a great environment of
caring people caring individuals
I see Caprock students outside of school
so indirect character be on Dove what we
expect in the classroom I think that it
is one of the reasons by cop rocket is
a really good school because of that character building
and to me I only Invasion and see
cockroaches growing in Creative well-rounded
my name is Dan Cheryl and
my official title is a facility in business director
it was actually my wife's brain child to
start a charter school here in town
she thought it would be great to have another option in the Grand Valley one
of our original goal was to have a K-12
environment so that if you chose to your
kid could start in kindergarten or first grade and
be in the same school all the way through their graduation
out of high school where up over
alarm 9 hour and you know it's going to continue to
grow and that's really what we wanted to see happen my
name is Andrew Collins and I am
the head of school at Caprock Academy I think Caprock
is a unique school for
many reasons one of course we are class clutch
Mission School and that's not what you see
in mainstream education today I think
in classical education we're showing kids and teaching
kids what the meaning of life is why
am I here what am I doing what is my purpose and
what good do I want to do in the world
that will also benefit me but there's something
outside of me that's more important and I believe
that mainstream education is gone a different way or
has catered to what kind of job will
I get how much money will I make through my career
or my way more things at all
after school and classical education focuses
on the individual and what
they can do for the world around them rather than
what the world around them can do for them
my
name is Nick Selinsky I'm the business
call the director at Caprock when choosing
a new school they're choosing so much more
than just the classroom they're choosing their
social group they're choosing extracurricular
activities and hopefully they're choosing an
educational home for their students
Miller family my name is Megan Bernard
and I am a kindergarten
teacher at Caprock what first drew me
to Caprock was choosing it as a school
as a parent I actually had an older
child that did not attend here when she
starting her education we signed her up with
our local school I didn't know is apparent
that you have a choice I really feel that Caprock
values that Community peace
and the character education emphasis
as well and that's really what Drew
Caprock as a parent my name
is Kendra swim and I am the elementary
K through 3D in
my chair through three grade levels
every classroom has an educational assistant
so there are two adults in the classroom
everyday all day and they
are interacting with the students the students are
helping each other learn there's just a very
loving and caring environment my name is
your Caprock
Academy Jimmy is that only include
number students and everything we do but as
well as how we Embrace diversity here I
come. But someone like I mentioned from another
country have they ever felt as a staff member that
I don't belong or that I'm not part of a community
braces that diversity and Embraces that inclusion
and we bring that into my
classroom as well classroom
management
are more focused and they're more
to work my
name is Howard butcher I teach high school English I'm
also the instructional advisor for the high school and
middle school the environment at Caprock
is like a private school in terms
of its safety and its academic
but it comes with a public school price
tag I think a lot of people don't realize that it's
free they don't understand the quality of
Education you get here is really remarkable there's
a lot of people over the years who
believe that there's a tuition involved that you have to be
I want to come here that you have to go through some kind of application
process along with it they're being
tuition or like I know I can never afford to send my kid
there and there's no cost to send your kid to hear a
rock has seen significant
success in its ability to
actively and responsibly Steward public
funds and to best utilize those for
reinforcing and training
more robust student experience
the school offers many
different extracurricular opportunities from
words to academics we also have
some academic Pursuits like knowledge
bowl and our school is the two-time
state champion as of this year and we
also are very lucky to have two full size
competition gyms locker room
we have our band room and choir rooms
and we also have some well-appointed are
trims and science room the reason to bring your
kids here to bring your student to a school
like Caprock to build
that family mentality into
that we are all part of one big
Community Family
Thrift
food growing
and
creating successful citizens Beyond
academic world the four-day school schedule
or the overall school calendar
or you want your kid to have that specific classical
educational experience where a school
of choice we want you to come here because it fits
for your student in your family
does not matter where you come from or what your background
is or what your beliefs are but ultimately
we all want to be a part
of the same community and take care of each other and that really
is the beginning of the
