WELCOME UNIVERSITY HILL ALEBRIJES
Founded in 1906, University Hill is one of Boulder's oldest elementary schools offering one of the most unique educational settings in the district. We implement BVSD curriculum based on the Colorado Academic standards through a dual-language program that promotes biliteracy, bilingualism, and biculturalism. Students learn academically challenging content while building literacy in two languages - Spanish and English. We aim to have 50% of our students whose home language is English and 50% whose home language is Spanish. Our staff is equally diverse and many have come to us from countries such as Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Spain, and Peru. Our proximity to the University of Colorado provides us with a wealth of resources and opportunities to extend student learning beyond the classroom walls. Equity, diversity, respect and understanding are the cornerstones of our school community. This school also offers free and tuition preschool classes that have a focus on both academic and developmental learning standards.

The Boulder Valley School District takes all allegations of discrimination and harassment seriously. We continue to focus on improvements to our policies, reporting systems, practices, and education efforts—all with the goal of ensuring every BVSD student feels safe, welcomed, and a strong sense of belonging.

From the beginning of our community engagement effort, our commitment was to listen before taking action. The values, priorities and perspectives shared by our community will help guide the difficult decisions ahead, as we consider how best to position BVSD for the future.
One message was clear: our community understands that declining enrollment presents real challenges and that maintaining high-quality educational experiences for students may require change. We also heard a strong desire to preserve what makes BVSD special—excellent teaching and learning, strong school communities, and opportunities for every student to thrive.
