District Overview:
Rigor, relevance, relationships, and choice make Mapleton Public Schools a destination district for both families and staff. In 2006, Mapleton challenged the traditional delivery of education by introducing schools that are small-by-design. Standards-based instruction is offered through the lens of engaging education models, including EL, International Baccalaureate, Big Picture, STEM, Performing and Visual Arts, Project-based Learning, Young Adult, and online.

In Mapleton's full-choice system, families select their school based on how their child likes to learn, not where they live. Mapleton serves more than 6,700 students - from toddlers to young adults - in unincorporated Adams County, Thornton, and north Denver. With an unyielding commitment to academic success and personal growth, Mapleton is committed to raising expectations by removing obstacles to learning and supporting all students in achieving their dreams.

Program Overview:
The Inclusive Learning Community (ILC) provides a continuum of supports and services so that students can experience academic success and access their grade-level peers in their least restrictive environment. In other districts, this level of programming may be considered an SSN, Intensive Learning, or center-based program. However, Mapleton's ILC's strive to implement an effective system of structures and supports that allow students to thrive in a variety of settings and ensure that students' time in the general education setting is productive and successful.
