Aware of the great excitement in man's classic quest for knowledge, cognizant of the stimulation given this adventure of the mind by new discoveries in a changing world, and convinced that young people must be challenged to accept the responsibility for productive learning that is concomitant with the privilege of education, the Boulder Valley School District provides equality of opportunity for education of the individual to the maximum of his or her academic and creative abilities and in accordance with his or her needs and interests. The District provides instructional programs for kindergarten through 12th grade, with special provisions for handicapped children at all grade levels, and for adult and vocational education.
