Education

Coleridge Community Schools

Coleridge Community Schools, District #541, located in northeast Nebraska, is committed to providing students a quality education in a risk-free, safe environment.  Beginning with the 2010-2011 school year, students in grades 5 through 8 from Coleridge and Laurel attend middle school in Coleridge.  Elementary school students (grades PK through 4), and high school students (grade 9 through 12) have their classes in Laurel.  This environment provides a focus on creating positive self-esteem and motivates students to reach their potential and become responsible, productive citizens with a desire for life-long learning.  The goals of the board of education in Coleridge and Laurel are to maintain a quality education program for all students, operate in the most cost efficient manner possible, and maintain a school in every community.  Quality teachers and support staff mirrors the expectations of the community and fosters a strong relationship between the schools and district patrons.

Distance education and a progressive technology program in our rural setting, provides our students access to a similar curriculum available in larger districts.  All students have the opportunity to become involved in quality activities programs, which extend learning beyond the regular classroom.  These and all academic programs promote interpersonal relationships, self-discipline, and values.
