Colorado Springs School District 11 (D11) covers the heart of the city, including downtown, Old North End, and popular neighborhoods such as Patty Jewett, Divine Redeemer, and parts of Briargate. With approximately 24,000 students and 57 schools, D11 is one of the largest and most historic school districts in Colorado Springs. Schools include award-winning programs for arts, music, STEM, International Baccalaureate, and career tech. A unique fact is D11’s strong focus on arts education, which gives students access to classes in music, theater, dance, and visual arts across many schools.
District 11 serves a diverse student body and offers a variety of public, magnet, charter, and online school options. Many schools in D11 are near Colorado College, Monument Valley Park, and the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center, enriching students’ access to culture and sports. Families benefit from frequent community partnerships, after-school activities, and neighborhood events. D11’s boundaries span several zip codes, so always confirm your school assignment before you buy or rent. The district is also recognized for its sustainability efforts, as it runs energy conservation and outdoor classroom programs. D11 was one of the first Colorado districts to launch a free all-ages online academy for local and military families.
