Cultivate and Celebrate Every Kind of Mind

At Manitou Springs Elementary School, we believe that every child is unique—and so is the way they think, learn, and grow. Our mission is to Cultivate and Celebrate Every Kind of Mind, recognizing that diversity in learning is not only something to support but something to celebrate. Each student brings a distinct blend of strengths, interests, and perspectives that enrich our classrooms and strengthen our school community.

By cultivating and celebrating every kind of mind, we create a school culture rooted in empathy, respect, and equity. Our students learn that differences are strengths and that everyone contributes something valuable to our learning community. At MSES, we don’t just prepare students for the next grade, we prepare them for a world that needs every kind of thinker, dreamer, and doer.
