This past week, approximately fifty Colorado boarding schools admissions officers came for fairs in Boulder, Denver, and Aspen.
Usually Becky and I are visiting boarding schools on their home turf. But as school officers began to ask to meet with us, Becky and I had a thought: what if, this time, we invited schools to “our place” for a change? Typically when we visit schools, a tour will include the opportunity to get to know people over a hot meal on campus.
So what better way to get to know schools than an autumnal open house with breakfast?

People mingled while sipping hot coffee (with optional delicious pumpkin spice creamer) and nibbling on Greek yogurt with granola. Bagels with lox were on hand too.
All together it was a great morning with wonderful company, interesting conversations about education, and delicious food.
To every boarding school representative who came to Colorado and joined us, a big thank you!
Boarding schools offer a world of educational opportunities and we want to spread the word about these incredible institutions to families here (and beyond!).
If you live in Colorado and missed the boarding school fairs, know that they will be back next year! The fairs occur within the first week of October and are hosted by Boulder Country Day in Boulder, St. Anne’s Episcopal and Graland Country Day School in Denver, and Aspen Country Day School in Aspen. Information can also be found from the Association of Colorado Independent Schools.
