Engaging, adventurous school. It is not for everyone, but for those looking for a "whole person" experience, it's incredible. Active opportunities are remarkable, as are the arts. The school has an excellent faculty.

We were lucky enough that both of our kids graduated from CRMS. The teachers and staff are hands-down the best part about CRMS, as everyone there loves where they are, what they do, and helping others; and whether it is the teacher taking them on a ski day at Snowmass or the kitchen staff getting creative on a new farm-to-table dish, they lead by example what it means to live a meaningful live as an active member of their community. To this day, my kids both live this way, and I'm incredibly grateful to CRMS for showing them the way.

CRMS is unlike any other school in the country. Brings top notch academics with experiential learning experience and outdoor adventure. Deeply committed faculty and strong advisor/student program. The skills that one learns at CRMS last a lifetime. As a parent and an alumni, I can attest to this.

Both of my children took advantage of all the opportunities presented to them. They thrived in the Outdoor Program and learned to advocate for themselves in the classroom by developing wonderful relationships with faculty mentors.
