Tucked deep within the Arizona Skyline Community, Boulder Creek Elementary enjoys a quiet campus bordered by parkland and lines of homes. Although this public school is in Mesa, Boulder Creek serves children in prekindergarten through sixth grade as part of the Gilbert Public Schools District.
Home of the bulldogs, where kindness counts, the school strives to create a fun and positive learning environment for all the students. Students can participate in activities such as neon fun runs or volunteer to get slimed at school events. Aside from tending the school’s own garden, students can also participate in school and local fundraisers to feel like a part of their community.
When it comes to academics, students can round out their education with art, library, music and physical education. On top of that, engaging field trips, science camps and other school-focused events allow students to learn more about their community and environment.
Outside of the classroom, aspiring bulldogs can compete in sports or pursue several passions in the district’s enrichment program. Boulder Creek Elementary School rounds out students in academics while also allowing them to pursue their individual interests.
