Catalyst Alternative Private High School Boulder, CO

What Our Community Says:

“I love how Catalyst fills an important need in Boulder County. You and your team have created a safe place for kids to go in our home community. I would have given anything to have been able to put Nick in your school when all of this came down on him and our family. That you drug test and give your students a reason to say no is huge to their recovery. That you support them with Katy’s program essential. The education that you provide is balanced and excellent. You give our children a second chance to get their high school skill set and the opportunity to right their behavior with patience and guidance. Every community should be so lucky to have a school like yours to shore up the public system when that does not work and we know the reasons vary for each and every kid.

Statistics tell us that if we can keep our kids substance abuse free till 21 they have less than a 2% chance of having a problem in their adult life. If they get started in their early teens they have a 30% chance of having an addiction problem the rest of their lives. When you get them off the risky behavior track and involve the family which is what you are doing, you are making a huge difference that will help kids stay productive in a critical time slot in their lives. Thank you for making Catalyst happen.”
