In addition to the wonderful primary school options, Steamboat Springs is also home to the Alpine Campus of Colorado Mountain College.  CMC offers a 4-year Education degree, two-year associate of arts degrees as well as providing community education and outreach.  Steamboat high school students have the opportunity to partake in concurrent enrollment at CMC which allows students to earn college transferable credits similar to Advanced Placement.

Overall, the average Steamboat Springs CSAP scores rank above the state average in almost every level of reading, writing and arithmetic.  We are very proud of our area schools and enjoy watching our young students learn and grow in this wonderfully supportive environment.
