Basalt Elementary School

"As a parent of two children at Basalt Elementary, I am continually impressed by the high-quality education they receive—on par with a private school, but in a welcoming public school setting. The nurturing staff creates a supportive environment, and the dual-language program helps students develop bilingual skills while embracing the diversity of our community. Strong academics, combined with incredible outdoor education opportunities like ski days and river rafting, make learning both rigorous and engaging. The school’s tight-knit community fosters a true sense of belonging, and we are proud to be Basalt Longhorns!"

"We have been thrilled with the education our two kids have received at BES. The opportunities for outdoor and experiential education at BES are plentiful. The teachers are professional, hardworking, and care deeply about our kids. The admin works to create a joyful environment for staff and students alike. We especially love to see how much the Basalt community supports the schools."

"I love the culture of inclusivity and community at Basalt Elementary School! The students learn how to take ownership over their learning process by creating and working toward individualized goals, which are celebrated throughout the school. I feel that the students learn how to be good members of our community in addition to a rigorous academic curriculum. The children are honored as individuals, while still being prepared to function and contribute within their environment. Go longhorns!"
