Military Families

The Colorado Springs School (CSS), recognizes that military families bring a distinct energy, perspective, and resilience that enrich our entire community. Students from military backgrounds often arrive with global awareness, adaptability, and a strong sense of service—qualities that align deeply with our mission and values.

Military Family Support

We celebrate the experiences your family carries with you. Whether your student has lived in multiple countries, navigated frequent transitions, or developed independence through change, those experiences are seen as strengths here. At CSS, they will find a community that values curiosity, connection, and character—where their story adds something meaningful.

A Supportive Transition

We understand that moving to a new city—and a new school—can be both exciting and challenging. Our goal is to make that transition as smooth and supportive as possible for both students and families.

At CSS, military-connected students benefit from:

  • Personalized onboarding to help students quickly feel known, supported, and engaged
  • Small class sizes that allow teachers to build strong relationships and provide individual attention
  • Faculty who are experienced in welcoming students mid-year and helping them integrate socially and academically
  • Peer connections through clubs, athletics, and outdoor education that foster belonging early on
  • Flexible academic support to ensure continuity, especially during transitions between schools or systems

A Place to Belong

Colorado Springs is home to a vibrant military community, and CSS reflects that spirit of service and connection. Here, students are encouraged to share their experiences, learn from one another, and grow into thoughtful, confident individuals.

We are committed to being more than just a school during your time here—we aim to be a steady, welcoming place your family can count on, whether you are with us for a few years or longer. We would be honored to be part of your journey.
