The beautiful mountainous state of Colorado is famous for big sky, open ranges and a liberal worldview combined with a frontier attitude. The Centennial State, as is its official nickname, is home to a multitude of educational institutions from conservative traditional boarding schools offering nationally regarded college-preparatory programmes to cutting-edge scientific academies and alternative schooling options including, particularly, a nationally famous offer of Waldorf schools.
