Mission & Vision

Flatirons Elementary is a warm, welcoming neighborhood school nestled beneath the majestic Flatirons, within walking distance of Chautauqua Park, the University of Colorado, and downtown Boulder. With a rich tradition of exceptional education, our success is built on dedicated staff, engaged students, and strong family partnerships.

We foster a culture that celebrates creativity, curiosity, and the pursuit of students' passions and dreams. Our approach integrates academic excellence and social-emotional learning, laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning and career/college readiness. Through career-connected experiences and meaningful community partnerships, including a strong collaboration with the University of Colorado, Boulder, students engage in hands-on learning that extends beyond the classroom. These opportunities empower them to explore future career paths, develop real-world skills, and connect their learning to the world around them.

As a No Place for Hate school, we are committed to fostering an inclusive, bias-free environment. We honor and embrace diverse family structures, races, cultures, religions, genders, abilities, and neurodiversity, ensuring that every student—regardless of background or learning style—feels valued, understood, and empowered to thrive.

At Flatirons, we believe education should be engaging, meaningful, and deeply connected to the community. By weaving together academic rigor, creativity, and real-world learning, we prepare students to confidently lead, innovate, and make a lasting impact on the world.
