Getting to Know Arvada West

The Arvada West articulation area includes neighborhoods northwest of Denver, covering almost 40 square miles and has something for everyone. Arvada has a history rooted in early gold discovery and valued agriculture. It has grown beyond its early reputation as a commuter neighborhood and has developed its own thriving identity and personality. 

The articulation area consists of seven schools from an early learning center designated to preschool students, several elementary schools, a middle school and a comprehensive high school. The schools’ diverse communities care about student’s success and offer a wide variety of educational programs to help every student thrive.

We encourage you to support and attend events at schools throughout the Arvada articulation area.
