District 14:  School of Choice on the West Side


“Free All Day Kindergarten”

Manitou Springs School District 14 is truly a school of choice on the West Side of Colorado Springs.  As the population of District 14 has grown older, the number of resident children has declined, creating space for choice students.  Over 30% of our students come to us from neighboring school districts

Choice parents and students repeatedly tell us that they love our schools because:

  • We are a high performing district as determined by the Colorado Department of Education
  • We value the arts and “whole child” education
  • We choose not to be driven by CSAP test scores
  • Our schools offer a safe and caring environment
  • We are a “small town” district with tight family and community connections.

We invite you to be a part of the Manitou 14 experience!
