Open House at Alpine Valley School

Saturday, July 18, 2026 | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM Mountain Time

4501 Parfet St, Wheat Ridge, CO 80033

Free and open to everyone

Come spend a relaxed morning with us. This isn't a formal presentation or a sales pitch — it's a chance to wander the campus, sip some coffee, enjoy a few treats, and chat with the people who know this place best: our students, parents, and alumni.

Curious how a school works when kids have a real say in how their days unfold and how the community runs? Wondering what learning looks like without grades, tests, or a set curriculum? Ask us anything. We love talking about our model, but mostly we just want to get to know you and your family.

Our Open House happens just once a year, and this one is special: the 2026-27 school year marks our 30th anniversary, making us one of the longest-running self-directed schools in the country.

RSVP and we'll mail you something special

Everyone who RSVPs receives an exclusive copy of our booklet, "Let Them Emerge" — a collection of writings on our approach, beautiful photographs taken right here at school, and a few other goodies we think you'll enjoy. Just share your mailing address below and it'll be on its way.
