• Howbert Elementary is the leading PreK - 5th grade outdoor learning pathway school in the Pikes Peak Region.

    We incorporate nature and the outdoor environment to engage learners in meaningful and purposeful experiential learning.

    Our learning opportunities are designed to engage students through outdoor, hands-on learning experiences that bring learning

    to life. We work together and think deeply about questions as we apply skills across content areas. Students have the unique

    opportunity to extend their learning beyond the walls of the classroom.
