Diverse Voices: Union Colony School’s Melting Pot

Diversity is a year-long celebration built into our DNA at Union Colony Schools (Union Colony). We know that every voice matters and differences are embraced. Diversity isn't just a buzzword at our school—it's a fundamental part of who we are, enriching every aspect of our educational experience.

Champions of Diversity

We are a tuition-free public charter school with a solid academic and extracurricular program for grades K-5 in Evans, Colorado, and grades 6-12 in Greeley. The communities surrounding our campuses are rich with different cultures, beliefs and perspectives, which means we consistently welcome a string of new faces. Our commitment to championing diversity equips our students with the cultural competence and empathy needed to succeed in today’s interconnected world.

Visual, Multimedia & Interactive Aids

Union Colony ensures all students can see themselves reflected in their learning environment and appreciate the mosaic of human experience. In getting to know our families, we've heard many languages besides English, and we work with students for whom English is a second language. We use visual aids, multimedia resources, and interactive activities to help keep them on track and encouraged.

Inclusivity Enhances Academic Achievement 

Our educators create an inclusive environment where students feel safe expressing themselves and challenging their perspectives. Union Colony prioritizes critical thinking and open dialogue, encouraging our students to engage with complex issues respectfully and thoughtfully. This approach enhances academic achievement and prepares our students to be proactive, compassionate members of the community.

Diversity Initiatives

Beyond the classroom, Union Colony actively seeks to involve families and the broader community in our diversity initiatives. We host cultural festivals, workshops, and a speaker series that celebrate our differences and build bridges of understanding. These events testify to our belief that education extends beyond the school walls and that it takes a village to raise a child who is aware, kind, and ready to contribute positively to the world.

Choosing the right school for your child is a big decision. Will they fit in? Will they make friends easily? Will the staff and administration care for them daily? We get it, and our administration is here to put your concerns at ease. Union Colony offers a nurturing environment that welcomes diversity and helps new students transition. We empower young learners to reach their full potential and invite families looking for a school that values, challenges and prepares students for the future to consider joining us!
