CANON EXPLORATORY SCHOOL

CANON EXPLORATORY SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Fremont Re-1 school district, located in CANON CITY, CO with about 348 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 20 teachers, CANON EXPLORATORY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

CANON EXPLORATORY SCHOOL, located at 2855 North 9th Street in Cañon City, Colorado, is a unique educational institution within the Cañon City School District that emphasizes a hands-on, inquiry-based approach to learning.

This project-based model is designed to foster critical thinking, creativity, and a lifelong passion for discovery among its students.

The school is well-regarded for its community-oriented atmosphere and commitment to developing well-rounded individuals. By integrating core curriculum requirements with experiential learning opportunities, CANON EXPLORATORY SCHOOL aims to provide a supportive environment where students feel empowered to collaborate and innovate.
