Welcome to September High School

  • Decades of Experience
    Founded in 1973, we are the longest running independent high school (grades 9-12) in the city of Boulder.
  • Low Student / Teacher Ratios
    Our average student to teacher ratio is 8 to 1, dramatically lower than Colorado's average in 2010, which was 17 to 1.
  • High Continuing Education Rates
    Over 85% of September High School Graduates continue their education, a stark contrast to the 2010 national average of 69%, and the Colorado average of 74%.
  • Transferable Credits
    Accredited by AdvancED, all credits are transferable to all public and private in-state and out-of-state high schools.
  • Attention to The Arts
    The arts, physical education, and community are essential parts of education at September School.
  • Outdoor Education / School Trips
    Whether it's two nights in the mountains under a starry sky, or a week in a neighboring state, off-campus learning is a vital part of our curriculum.
  • Summer School
    September School offers our relationship based teaching to all students in the community through our summer school program.

September High School is the longest running independent high school in the city of Boulder, and we're proud to be celebrating our 38th anniversary this year.

A tuition check goes a long way at an independent school: It helps pay for a host of resources that all contribute to an excellent program. However, tuition doesn’t cover everything. Not at September School, or at most other independent schools in the country. That’s where you come in. Click here to learn how you can help through donations or in-kind giving.
