Non Public Schools Directory

Overview

Non-public schools located in Colorado are not required to have a CDE assigned school code. However, to be listed on CDE's Directory of Non-Public School Codes or to participate in the Non-Public Fall Enrollment Count, a non-public school will need a CDE assigned school code.

To qualify for a non-public school code a school must be physically located in Colorado, serving Colorado students. Currently, CDE is not assigned school codes for virtual programs located outside of the state.

Please see the Schools of Choice Unit Non-Public Schools webpage for more detailed information on non-public school types and guidelines.

Non-Public Schools Fall Enrollment Count

The data will be used to generate a count of non-public school students in the state of Colorado. C.R.S. 22-1-114 allows Colorado's public school districts to collect, no more than once per month, certain information from non-public schools located within their districts in order to meet their responsibilities for the compulsory attendance of eligible children.
