WELCOME TO SEPTEMBER HIGH SCHOOL
September High School is the longest running independent high school in the city of Boulder, and we're proud to be celebrating our 37th anniversary this year. Our innovative approach to education has a proven track record and is accredited by the North Central Association. Take a look at our site and see all that we have to offer.
Here's what our students and families are saying about us:
"This school is incredible. I love the teachers, classes, and the kids. Everyone accepts me for who I am. I feel loved and appreciated here."
—Lauren
"I wake up every day and am excited to go to school, learn, and expand my mind. I love all my teachers and have the utmost respect for everyone here."
—Reed
"Our son has always been a good student and well adjusted socially, so we weren't even considering the idea of him going to a different school, especially a private one. But during his first year of high school, his desire to go to school and his enthusiasm took a dive. September High School has made a huge difference in all of our lives. Our son now enjoys going to school and comes home full of information and stories about his day. At September High School, he's learned how to be a critical thinker, to take responsibility for himself, and the importance of good communication and respectful relationships."
—Parent

AFTER SCHOOL TUTORING
Does your student need extra help with a specific subject or with general study and organization skills? Dan B. offers FREE tutoring sessions in his classroom on Mondays and Thursdays from 3:15pm - 4:15pm. We've found that starting off with a strong structure of support, such as planning to attend at least one of the two tutoring sessions
each week is very helpful for students who are struggling academically. Dan B is also available for private tutoring and you can contact him at danb@septemberschool.org to inquire about availability and rates.
