About Front Range Virtual Zone:

Front Range Virtual Zone is part of Summit Education Group, which is a nationally accredited Colorado Pubic Benefit Corporation serving public charter schools in the State of Colorado and beyond. Front Range Virtual will serve students across the state via online and face-to-face mentoring and instruction. Front Range Virtual individualizes each student's academic and career plan according to their needs, talents and desires, and utilizing cutting edge technology and gaming initiatives to reform the face of education as we know it. We do this while providing highly individualized instruction to a diverse range of students including Gifted, At-Risk, and Special Needs; utilizing the educational opportunities from our partner schools, GOAL Academy and Rocky Mountain Digital Academy. Some students have become disillusioned with the traditional school setting and are seeking a more flexible environment to challenge their academic abilities while being respectful of their individual situations, others are highly motivated college-bound students; both groups receive the individualized attention they need to be successful in their lives after high school.  Front Range Virtual is not a traditional school setting. Front Range Virtual breaks the mold of traditional school settings entirely. Staff members typically work from remote locations via technology, and in physical satellite locations; the workday is often longer than the traditional teaching environment because we are there for our students when they need us, even at 10 o’clock at night. Staff members work with students and families whom they are expected to build and maintain healthy positive relationships with for the duration of the students' time at Front Range Virtual, and beyond.
