The community at this school is one like no other. Being in a small school environment has been a huge advantage for me. Everyone knows everyone's name and your teachers are not seen as your superiors, they're seen as people who want to help you and see you succeed. I am always comfortable walking into school knowing I'm walking into a very open-minded, accepting, and loving community.

The teachers here care so much about their students, and the education is truly unique. This school follows an Expeditionary Learning Model, so adventure and hands-on learning are part of every day.

I would say it's pretty good. Security measures might not be what they could, but there is minimal need for them, for the most part. Violence inside the school is nonexistent. Being small means that anyone who does not belong sticks out.

Polaris is the hidden gem of PSD schools. We feel so fortunate that my daughter has been able to be a part of this school for several years. The teachers are amazing and my daughter loves to go to school.

Polaris lives up to its name as a shining star in Fort Collins. We are so very grateful our children had and have the opportunity to be a “crew member” of such a well rounded place. The students are seen and celebrated there. Watch a graduation on you tube, and you will see what I mean. They get to...

The concept of Polaris is an exciting and very intriguing one. However, it has veered from being an expeditionary school for all kids, to exclusively supporting LGBT community. The greater part of the student body either identifies in this group or are strong allies. If you are neither, just a regul...
