My daughter has been at Juniper for almost three years and she has flourished both socially and academically. It is a tight-knight community and she loves visiting her teachers she had before! We live just outside of Bayfield and the commute is worth it. I wish there was a bus route but I don't know what Juniper can do about that.

The best school in Durango. This is the first school my child has not been bullied at and has friends and because he no longer hates going to school he is thriving academically. Ms Joanne and Ms Leslie are superstars!
