Colorado is bordered by Wyoming to the north, Nebraska and Kansas to the east,
by Oklahoma and New Mexico to the south, and Utah to the west. Located close to
the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains, Colorado owes its name to the Colorado
River, thus named by the Spaniards due to the reddish color of its waters. The
State extends over three regions: to the west, the elevated trays of Colorado
(between 2,000 m and 3,000 m in altitude); in the center, the Eastern Rockies, a
region of high mountains that culminate at the summit of Mount Elbert (4 401
m); to the east, the Great Plains plateau, Piemonte do Rochosos (between 1 000 m
and 2 000 m altitude). Several important rivers take birth from part and another
of the water dividing line formed by the Colorado Rockies: Colorado, a tributary
of the Pacific, the Rio Grande, which flows into the Gulf of Mexico, Arkansas, a
tributary of the Mississippi, and the South Platte, affluent Missouri. Colorado,
with the exception of the Rockies, is presented with a semi-arid continental
climate. The vegetation consists of natural meadows (from the Great Plains),
coniferous forests (PIN ponderosa,

Colorado Rocky Mountain School - Carbondale"In life, we are not
passengers, but members of the crew." The Colorado Rocky Mountain School is a
boarding school in Colorado that was founded in 1953. Teamwork and a good
relationship with each other are very important here. The boarding school is a
top choice for all outdoor fans and winter sports enthusiasts. Around 170
students are currently attending the boarding school.
The campus is located three hours west of the city of Denver. The school itself
is located in Carbondale, a classic American town.
Two large rivers flow along here and the place is at the foot of Mount Sopris.
Due to the attractive location there are countless outdoor opportunities offered
by the school. Some of them are kayaking, climbing, and a lot of winter sports
activities like skiing and snowboarding. Winter sports in particular are
strongly promoted here, as the world-famous Aspen ski area is only 30 miles
away, and the school even works with its clubs. Beginners train twice a week,
advanced and competition participants train four times a week and take part in
competitions on the weekends. Training begins here before the actual skiing
season in order to prepare the students as best as possible.
There are many activities on the weekends, here too, for example, the students
go skiing, but also bowling, go to the mall for shopping, go swimming in hot
springs or hike. At the beginning of the school year there is an orientation
week for the international students, in order to prepare them perfectly for the
coming school year. Afterwards, all students go on a 10-day wilderness trip. The
students go on the backpacking trip to get to know each other better and to
consolidate values such as teamwork, respect and responsibility. During the
school year there are two more excursions in autumn and spring.
The school also attaches great importance to a good academic program. With 13
students, the classes are quite small and the student-teacher ratio is 5: 1. The
classrooms are modern and have iMacs. The range of subjects is very large and
varied - subjects such as philosophy, 3-D game design, songwriting and
silversmithing can be taken.
The students live in the dorms of the boarding school in 2-bed rooms. There are
7 different dorms, all of which have been renovated. In the common areas, the
pupils can spend time together and feel completely at home, according to the
motto "home away from home". Unlike many other boarding schools, there is no
school uniform or dress code here, because the pupils should feel comfortable. |
