Rocky Mountain Deaf School

Rocky Mountain Deaf School has been an amazing experience for my son. We moved here not knowing the outcome the school would bring to his life. We literally sold most all that we have and pulled a small trailer. Material things mean nothing when it comes to doing what is right. Got a apartment and searched for a job. That was not easy considering the first one was a scam and the second was not such a great place of employment. But now we are doing well because we have the will to make things work. (See the vision and do it attitude.) A little bit about my son: He has been hard of hearing since 18 months old. Public schools in the area I lived in previously just could not compare to what this school has done for my son his first 5th grade year here. He knew very little sign when he got here the beginning of the year and now he knows so so much. His vocabulary has grown due to the amount of language he has learned. He went from being a chunky little boy into being a tall handsome young man within a year. Happiness will change a person on the outside too. He has friends that he feels he has things in common with. He actually can play sports now and understand the direction the soccer coach is giving him. The amount of experiences these children get to take in with all the field trips is amazing. It makes a mom feel better about having a busy work schedule. The gym teacher even gets to actually know your kid. He loves gym class. One of his very favorite things to do is art. His personality shines through all the creative ideas the school lets the children come up with. I feel like he's going to be an engineer one day due to all the tape and cardboard boxes that he has made into models of different machines, houses and designs. My son tells me school is like a movie to him. It's fun and still they challenge him to want to do more. He really feels inspired to be the best young man he can be at Rocky Mountain Deaf School. Note- And I'm a judgmental parent when it comes to my kids surroundings.

Highly-rated D / HH school. My son has grown so much with communication skills. Thank you RMDS for being in town.

RMDS is the best school, environment and by far the best staff you will ever find for your child.

My daughter is doing so much better now that she's going to this school. Excellent staff excellent everything highly recommended!

Thanks you for my son
