North Routt is a place of learning inhabited by people who treasure our countryside and its historical significance, with a commitment to the children and the community (both local and global). In this special setting we see each individual achieving his/her highest potential in a positive (can-do), goal-oriented, nurturing, and secure atmosphere.

NRCCS is a charter school that has been in operation since 2000. The NRCCS is located 30 miles south of the Wyoming border in Clark, Colorado. North Routt is a remote, rural community encompassing 20 square miles of vast ranch land, wilderness areas, villages and small subdivisions. Our population is small, just 900 residents, but continues to grow steadily. The nearest population center, and our chartering authority, is 20 miles to the south in Steamboat Springs.

The NRCCS is an Expeditionary Learning Outward Bound (ELOB) school. ELOB is a comprehensive approach that combines rigorous academic content and real world projects called learning expeditions, with active teaching and community service. Teaching and learning are active and engaging in Expeditionary Learning classrooms.
