Founded in 1962, The Colorado Springs School (CSS) is a beacon of education and community in the Pikes Peak region. CSS plays a vital role in shaping the future leaders of our community as the leading PreKindergarten through Grade 12 independent day school in our area. As a nonprofit, CSS relies on the generosity of our community to ensure the best for our students and families.

We invite our CSS community and the broader Pikes Peak region to be a part of Stepping Up For CSS, our largest annual fundraising event of 2026. The event will be featuring a fun-filled night with dinner, dancing, and entertainment. Here's how you can make a difference:

  • Become a Sponsor: Showcase your commitment to education and community by becoming a sponsor. Our sponsorship forms detailing the various levels and associated benefits upon request.
  • Donate an Auction Item: Consider contributing to our auction by donating an in-kind item.
  • Purchase Tickets: Attend and celebrate! Tickets on sale in March.

All contributions are tax-deductible based on their retail value.

CSS is dedicated to providing an exceptional academic curriculum grounded in experiential learning. Through superior academics and mentoring we prepare students to think independently and to meet the challenges of a dynamic world with leadership, ingenuity, problem-solving skills, and personal integrity.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to partner with CSS in preparing the next generation of leaders for a dynamic world.
