Circle of Concern
The Circle of Concern is a nonprofit, area-wide consortium of schools formed in 1996. Its mission is to educate and network with parents about pertinent child development issues - including substance abuse - through literature, presentations, and discussion opportunities.

Supporting and encouraging our children
The CA Circle of Concern was formed in 1997 at the direction of Head of School Chris Babbs. This parent group is supported by CA educators, administrators, and counselors, as well as healthcare professionals. The organization meets several times during the school year for educational presentations.   To see a combined calendar of parent education and childhood development events offered at Colorado Academy and elsewhere in the Denver/Boulder area click here.   Click here  to see only Colorado Academy’s Circle of Concern meetings and dates.
