Timnath Middle-High School

My kids started this school after we moved from a school that had a 10/10 rating on Great Schools. I was quite nervous to place them into Timnath, since it has a much lower rating -- but it turned out to be the best decision we could have made for our kids. The Principal, Jill Barella, is amazing and sets the stage for a warm community that actually knows all of the kids’ names. The community that Jill creates sets the tone to encourage a positive learning environment for the kids, and one that does not foster bullying or other behaviors. I've watched the school rally together during hard times and celebrate wins. The specials teachers are also amazing and go above and beyond for the kids, even doing after school activities for low or no cost. I'm still in awe. My 4th grader has made so much progress in math this year, it’s unbelievable. And my very anxious /nervous kindergartner loves her teacher and the school so much, she is disappointed when she is sick and can't attend. Thank you so much to Timnath Elementary, we are so glad to be Cubs!

Truly exceptional education with a Christ centered focus that inspires and uplifts students. Families are treasured at HCA. Students are educated. Leadership goes above and beyond. Lives are changed.

My husband found Rivendell online when we decided to relocate to Fort Collins several years ago from out of state and it, honestly, felt a little too good to be true. We wanted a school that perpetuated a JOY for learning while challenging our kids to push beyond their current abilities. We wanted a school that understood the importance of social-emotional learning, was rooted in kindness and partnered with us to help instill confidence in our kids. Since we were coming from out of state, we also wanted a place to start building our community. Flash forward several years and now our older son is on his third year at Rivendell and our younger son is in his first year. We actually ended up moving our younger son to Rivendell earlier than we intended since he was being bullied at another school and the administrators refused to address the issue. Now that he is at Rivendell the bullying has stopped and he is thriving! We also have developed great friendships with other families at Rivendell - it is at the core of our community.The administrators, teachers and staff continue to blow the high expectations we had going in out of the water. As we hear about the ups and downs that others have experienced at other schools within Fort Collins, we continue to feel grateful for this gem of a school and that our boys get to have these precious and formative years there.
