The Crestone Charter School is a complete,
K-12 organization serving all children towards meeting the Global Ends Policies as set up by our community. At the heart of our organization are small, mixed age classes. This has many advantages for our students. Our teachers know the students well and work with them as individuals over several years in self-contained classes. Because of this, each student can work at a rate that is equal to their own rate of learning and using the learning styles that favor them best. Mixed-age groupings also favor the individual child. Within a mixed-age classroom, children can learn from each other as well as from the teacher in their studies.

Small groups are rarely limited to same-age groups of children and focus on learning rather than on passing a grade level. The Early Elementary K-1 classroom is led by Susan Fey and is strongly influenced by the Waldorf system of learning. The Primary 2-3 Classroom is led by Jennifer Baldwin. The Intermediate 4-5 Classroom is led by Anrahyah Arstad. The Middle School 6-8 classroom is led by Charlie Warren and is an eclectic blend of learning and teaching styles based on the middle school model. Karen Acker is the leader of the LINK High School 9-12 classroom. In this classroom, students are individually prepared for their trajectory after our school. Thomas Cleary is our school-wide outdoor education leader, and Mary Dodge is the coordinator of the mentorship program for LINK students and provides key individual help for readers in all classrooms.
