Our History

OUR HISTORY

September High School was founded as Boulder’s community independent school in 1973 and is one of the longest-running independent schools in the country. Once located in an historic home in downtown Boulder, we expanded and relocated in 2016 to our current campus at 96 Arapahoe on the Boulder Canyon Creek with a view of People's Crossing.
