In Golden, kids grow up with mountain views outside the classroom window and often, lessons that extend beyond it. Walking to school, playing in forests, and attending nature-based programs all help children in Golden develop a strong sense of place and connection to the outdoors. Families can choose from a variety of school and childcare options that support both academic and active, outdoor learning. 

Golden Community Resources Society – Child care, licensed daycares, home-based daycares, and other programs. 

School District 6 (Rocky Mountain) – K-12, Alternative high school, English and French Immersion programming. 

École Le Confluence – Francophone school for eligible students. 

Home Schooling – There are a growing number of families engaged in home learning or blended programs such as the Heartwood Learning Community. 

After-School & Outdoor Programs – Program availability changes seasonally. Visit the Find It In Golden directory or ask in local community Facebook groups for more information.
