Skyview, a proposed charter school with a focus on high-ability and high-potential learners, is preparing a charter application for a September 1, 2010 submission to the St. Vrain Valley School District. Skyview plans to educate students in grades Kindergarten through 8th grade. They propose to open with grades Kindergarten through 5th grade, in August of 2011, within the boundaries of St. Vrain Valley School District and will add one grade each subsequent year.

This task force is comprised of board members, Head of School, faculty, and parents of Mackintosh Academy. They explored this proposal at length and in detail addressing the question - Why should Mackintosh consider this opportunity and what potential risks are inherent in such a venture, and what are the clear needs for a gifted school in the Boulder community? The task force has taken a preliminary look at resource needs, costs, and the impact on their head of school, the Mackintosh staff, the Board and the community as a whole. It was the consensus of the Task Force that this was an endeavor well worth exploring and they should move forward to an in-depth phase of research and due diligence.
