School Design Overview

Mapleton Public Schools is a small but mighty internationally accredited public school district located in one of the fastest-growing areas of metro Denver Adams County. We are committed to raising expectations, providing choices for learning, and removing obstacles to success so that we can guarantee all students achieve their dreams and enthusiastically contribute to their community, country, and world. With schools in both North Denver and Thornton, Mapleton covers 25 square miles and serves suburban, rural, and light industrial communities. Often considered "the heart" of the Denver metro area, Mapleton Public Schools is where major Colorado arteries including Interstate 25, Highway 36, Interstate 270, and Interstate 76 converge. It's where small family farms in Welby share a plentiful fall harvest, where a nationally recognized candy shop carries on its sweet 100-year tradition, where the Clear Creek Trail beckons to walkers, runners, and cyclists year-round, and where families find parks around every corner. Mapleton is also where beautiful new school buildings, inspired by the community’s rich history, elevate our innovative and spirited future. Mapleton may not be a place on a map, but it's certainly the place to be. It's where you and Mapleton's students achieve your dreams.

We serve more than 7,000 talented students who are eager to partner with you to create positive, successful learning environments. All of Mapleton's schools are small-by-design. Our portfolio of schools provides an enticing menu of options, including STEM, Big Picture, Dual Language, Gifted and Talented, International focus, EL Learning, University Partnership, Online, Performing and Visual Arts, Project-based Learning, and Young Adult. Our school designs emphasize "how" learning is supported, not "what" students will learn. We believe when students choose a school where the content is delivered in a way that aligns with their interests and passions, they will be more engaged and will successfully master the content standards.

Rigor, relevance, relationships, and choice make Mapleton Public Schools a destination district for our families, and for our teachers, and we hope for you, too!
