Passageworks approaches are integrated through the grades, with an emphasis on entering the school community in kindergarten, and transitioning to middle school in 5th grade.

In addition to school-wide and classroom opportunities, children are welcome to participate in clubs and activities offered at different times during the school year. These opportunities include: BCSIS Robotics Club, Intramurals and Field Day, Chess Club and Chess Classes, Africa Club, Science Fair, Bunraku Puppetry, Kids on Canvas Art Classes, Cartooning for Kids, and a BCSIS Music and Dance Group (Jazz Mountain).

Boulder Community School of Integrated Studies (BCSIS) is a holistic, arts-integrated school in which active involvement and academic excellence provide a foundation for learning and self-expression. BCSIS integrates several culture-building programs into our classroom routines which promote positive behaviors, independent decision-making, close and positive classroom environments, and effective problem-solving skills.
