Founded in 2014 as The Skylark School, the school originally operated out of Mountain View Church in Glenwood Springs.  In 2021, we changed our name to Ambleside School Rocky Mountains (ASRM) and relocated to the newly-renovated historic schoolhouse on Main Street in downtown New Castle, Colorado.  ASRM is an accredited K-8 private school organized as a Colorado non-profit corporation.  We partner with Ambleside Schools International (ASI) and educate students based on Charlotte Mason’s philosophy and practice.  ASI has schools all around the globe that provide this living education and strive to make it accessible to all.  A living education empowers students to author lives that are full and free - rich in relationship to God, self, others, ideas, work, and the created world.  It provides the tools needed to live well in all aspects of life - personal and professional, present and future.   Our students grow in relationship with the knowledge of God, humankind, and the universe.  They become people who give back to society, care for their kin, love their neighbors, and cultivate rich intellectual and spiritual lives.  ASRM educates students from all across the Roaring Fork and Colorado River Valleys including the towns of Carbondale, Glenwood Springs, New Castle, Silt, Rifle, and Parachute, Colorado.
