Letter from Our Principal at Kunsberg School

Welcome to Kunsberg School on the campus of National Jewish Health.

School begins for students on August 17th and children are very excited to return. Most parents are even more excited than the students, and not just for the usual reasons. Kunsberg represents a level of comfort, safety, and security for the medically at-risk child, which is difficult to find in the average school. Parents recognize this level of excellence at Kunsberg and want their children in this type of school environment.

Kunsberg is much more than just a "school." Kunsberg represents an educational concept, which allows students to grow, develop, and learn at their maximum ability in a warm, friendly, caring environment. Children from all over the Denver Metro area attend Kunsberg for the whole child educational experience. Each child's medical health is a top priority, but so is their social and physical growth as well as academic excellence. It is no surprise that a child's confidence level blossoms in the Kunsberg environment.

Kunsberg is a Positive Behavior Support School where students have the opportunity to learn and practice good social behaviors. Children learn that socially acceptable behavior allows them and their classmates to focus on education, rather than to be concerned about socially inappropriate behavior and the consequences that follow.

Kunsberg also has in place the new Promethean Interactive White Board Technology that will allow each child to experience academic opportunities in the classroom. With this new technology, along with classroom computers, literacy blocks, math blocks, and other daily activities, it is understandable why everyone is excited about the new school year. When we couple opportunity with good old-fashioned teaching, every child receives the individual attention they deserve.

Please feel welcome to contact the school if you want more information or, if you would like, an on-site tour.
