It is not only Liberty Common students who continue to grow and learn. Liberty Common teachers are an inquisitive bunch who pursue knowledge in their free time.

Liberty Common School students are mentioned in Mary Pineda’s obituary. They are her children. For them, she helped create a great school. She was a crucial LCS founder and she loved the school’s mission.

Take the hard road. That’s what a group of Fort Collins parents did in the early 1990s when they sought to open an elementary school with a rigorous, content-rich curriculum.

Liberty Common School students enjoy a cadre of professional classroom faculty, support staff, administrators, and parents who love them. Chunks of time were devoted, during the early days of the school year, to prepare students for the worst by surrounding them with love.
