About

Coal Creek Elementary resides in the quaint town of Louisville, Colorado, which is just southeast of greater Boulder.  

Coal Creek Elementary School provides academic programs that support and enhance education for the variety of learners we serve. In addition to the balanced literacy program, a math block has been established at the upper grades for extension and acceleration through the curriculum.  Innovative programs in the arts and physical education are also offered at Coal Creek. 

Students: We are confident that every child deserves a nurturing and empowering learning environment. We truly believe in the power of teamwork, inclusivity, and the endless potential of every child.

Staff: Our staff members go above and beyond to ensure that each student feels valued, appreciated, and motivated to do their very best. From the moment you step foot in our school, you will immediately sense the warm and welcoming atmosphere that permeates every corner.

Community: Our parent commitment and collaboration play a vital role in creating a vibrant and engaging learning environment. We value our partnership with parents and encourage their active participation in various school activities, events and committees.
