Kohl Elementary is a John Irwin School of Excellence Award winner, as well as one of few remaining neighborhood schools. It is situated in a park-like tract of land that anchors our corner of Broomfield. Our families and staff know it's true; The Grass Is Greener in Colt Country. This explains the number of multi-generational Kohl families in our school community. We are proud of our history, excited by our present, and eagerly anticipate a future filled with innovative learning opportunities for students. Kohl is known as a high-achieving school; one that honors the individuality of children, values connections with families, and intentionally cultivates partnerships within our community. Through quality classroom instruction and a robust PBIS system that is deeply embedded in Kohl's culture, we strive to meet the emotional, social, physical, and intellectual needs of our students, such that they love learning and are prepared for tomorrow's challenges as tomorrow's leaders. Our talented and enthusiastic staff are themselves learners, currently engaging in the study and implementation of Data Driven Instructional practices (DDI). We maintain a focused approach to providing a best first teach to all students, as well as instruction that is appropriately differentiated and of sufficient depth and breadth to engage all learners. Kohl Elementary School offers relevant and rigorous K-5 educational programming, as well as a high-quality, play-based preschool program that focuses on Kindergarten readiness. Go COLTS!
