EXPANDING
TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY
Renaissance Secondary School is excited to announce our plans for expansion, extending our services to students from preschool through 12th grade. As part of this growth, we will be adding new facilities at a nearby site, designed to better support all our students, with a particular focus on meeting the needs of our student athletes and our growing science, technology, business, and engineering programming. While our current facilities are wonderful, this expansion allows us to offer more space and resources for everyone. Aligned with our original charter agreement, this move strengthens our commitment to providing innovative, project-based learning experiences for students in Castle Rock and beyond.

BUILDING
A LEGACY
Since our founding, Renaissance Secondary School has served as a dynamic learning environment for students in grades 6 through 12. Our educational model, which integrates project-based learning, expeditionary experiences, and design thinking, has empowered students to become critical thinkers, creative innovators, and compassionate citizens.
Driven by the community’s growth and the success of our current program, this expansion fulfills the vision outlined in our charter application—to provide a seamless and comprehensive educational journey from early childhood through high school graduation based in adventure education and Expeditionary Learning.

About RB+B
"What if your school could become something extraordinary for students? A place where imagination is sparked and students are inspired?
Our design philosophy centers on the premise that a school should be a place for exploration and excitement as well as a teaching tool from which students learn about their world. Each school we design is unique enough to support the client’s educational delivery model and yet flexible enough to adapt as teaching and learning styles shift over time."
