Salve Regina School
"Deus Vult" — God Wills It
A PreK-8 Catholic microschool in Louisville, Colorado, offering personalized education that forms young minds in a faith centered community.
Our Three Pillars
The foundation of Catholic microschool education, forming students to know truth, love goodness, and pursue beauty.
Faith
Rooted in the rich traditions of the Catholic Church, we nurture each student's relationship with Christ through prayer, sacraments, and the study of Sacred Scripture.
Excellence
Through personalized instruction and mastery-based learning, students develop the intellectual tools to think critically, argue persuasively, and pursue wisdom at their own pace.
Community
In our multi-age classrooms, older students mentor younger ones, cultivating leadership, service, and lasting friendships. Families become partners in a close-knit school community.
Why Choose Salve Regina?
Our model is grounded in decades of research on how children learn best.
Personalized Learning
Students work at their "just-right" level within what psychologist Lev Vygotsky called the "zone of proximal development." High flyers keep moving forward, while those who need more time receive it. Every child achieves mastery before moving on.
Research-Backed Multi-Age Model
Studies show children in mixed-age classrooms demonstrate significantly more prosocial behavior and less aggression — benefits that persist for years. Older students reinforce their learning through mentorship while younger students aspire to what's ahead.
Deep Faith Integration
Catholic identity permeates every aspect of school life, from daily prayer and Mass to the integration of faith in all subjects. The intimate setting creates natural opportunities for encounter with Christ.
Stronger Social Development
Research across 566 students found fewer children experience social isolation in mixed-age settings, with higher friendship and peer acceptance ratings. These benefits endure even after students move on.
Parents as Partners
We believe parents are the primary educators of their children. With the same teacher for multiple years, families build genuine partnerships. Our microschool becomes an extension of the home.
Proven Academic Results
A comprehensive research synthesis found no evidence that multi-age classrooms harm academics — and Catholic microschools report dramatic improvements, with some seeing reading proficiency jump from 45% to over 80%.
"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it."— Proverbs 22:6
