HMS Richards Adventist School is located on the front range of the beautiful Rocky Mountains in Loveland, Colorado, about 50 miles north of Denver. This setting offers a variety of educational and recreational activities with close access to mountains, lakes, rivers, and hiking trails.
Our school shares the campus with Campion Academy (grades 9-12) and Campion Adventist Church. HMS is blessed to be part of a healthy, thriving campus. Our pastors, parents, and church community are highly involved in our school and contribute to making HMS a special place.
HMS is committed to ensuring that every child reaches their annual growth targets. Our objective is for 100% of our students to meet or exceed grade level standards and their projected growth targets as determined by spring MAPS and DIBELS scores.
Many of our students graduate one or two grade levels ahead of their peers in other schools. Average test scores reach the 73rd percentile, after students attended Adventist schools for seven years. Teachers at HMS Richards make it a point to evaluate and adapt to evolving learning styles.
