Mapleton Public Schools is a small but mighty internationally accredited public school district located in one of the fastest-growing areas of metro Denver Adams County. We are committed to raising expectations, providing choices for learning, and removing obstacles to success so that we can guarantee all students achieve their dreams and enthusiastically contribute to their community, country, and world. With schools in both North Denver and Thornton, Mapleton covers 25 square miles and serves suburban and light industrial communities.

Often considered "the heart" of the Denver metro area, Mapleton Public Schools is where major Colorado arteries including Interstate 25, Highway 36, Interstate 270, and Interstate 76 converge. Mapleton is also where beautiful new school buildings, inspired by the community's rich history, elevate our innovative and spirited future. We serve more than 7,000 talented students who are eager to partner with you to create positive, successful learning environments.

All of Mapleton's schools are small-by-design. Our portfolio of schools provides an enticing menu of options, including STEM, Big Picture, Dual Language, Gifted and Talented, International focus, EL Learning, University Partnership, Online, Performing and Visual Arts, and Young Adult. Our school designs emphasize "how" learning is supported, not "what" students will learn. We believe when students choose a school where the content is delivered in a way that aligns with their interests and passions, they will be more engaged and will successfully master the content standards.

Rigor, relevance, relationships, and choice make Mapleton Public Schools a destination district for our families, and for our teachers, and we hope for you, too! For more information about Mapleton Public Schools please visit our website here.
