Our students gain a deep understanding of themselves and are inspired to act with compassion and integrity.

Friends School offers a unique Teacher Preparation Program to aspiring teachers that enables them to attain a Colorado teaching license as well as a Master’s degree in education. We partner with public, charter and other independent schools throughout Boulder County and the surrounding region to give Teacher Candidates an exceptional hands-on classroom teaching experience with a mentor teacher. Our program launches new teachers with every tool to be successful in their careers. We actively support our faculty and staff with ongoing professional and self-development opportunities.

CU Denver and Friends School designed an innovative MA in Learning, Developmental and Family Sciences that offers a unique experience where aspiring teachers complete teacher training in Boulder while also obtaining a master’s degree. The program has classes on-site at Friends School and students pay a reduced CU tuition price. This highly regarded graduate program places teachers in public and independent elementary and early childhood schools throughout Boulder County.

Through our field-base residency model, teacher candidates gain hands-on experiences, opportunities to work alongside dedicated mentor teachers and the skills necessary to build a supportive and thriving classroom community.

The 36 credit program has been carefully designed to train exceptional teachers for tomorrow's classrooms.
