When students and teachers are engaged in work that is challenging, adventurous and meaningful, learning and achievement flourish. Our mission is to create classrooms where teachers can fulfill their highest aspirations, and students achieve more than they think possible, becoming active contributors to building a better world.  

Explore PK8 1st grade students in Mrs. Ptaszynski's art class are learning about the difference between warm and cool colors. To put their knowledge to the test, students drew cats and dogs and could only use a warm or cool color palette when filling in their lines.

Building

Built on the land of the old Carlson farm Explore moved into it's new home in 2020. 

EXPPG

Hard hats, shovels, and big dreams are headed to Mapleton as we officially break ground on Explore Primary, our newest school building designed especially for our youngest learners!

Located near the current Explore building, Explore Primary will welcome preschool through first-grade students. Once construction is complete, the existing Explore school will be renovated to serve grades 2–8, creating more classroom space in one of Mapleton’s fastest-growing neighborhoods.

With playful barnyard-inspired design elements, pastel colors, natural wood tones, and bright, welcoming spaces, Explore Primary will celebrate the site’s farmland history while inspiring curiosity and joy. The building will also feature dedicated spaces for a library, music, and gym—tailored perfectly to the needs of our early learners.

This exciting project is the second of Mapleton’s “Final Four” capital improvement projects, made possible by our community’s support in 2022. A huge thank you to our partners at JHL Constructors and HCM Architects for helping us bring this vision to life.

📅 Everyone is invited to join us as we celebrate this milestone and break ground on Explore Primary!
