School Mission
Colorado Academy strives for academic excellence and the highest standards of achievement as expressed by the ideals of the liberal arts and sciences and the education of the whole child. We believe excellence finds its best representation within a school community where education is enhanced by strong student-parent-teacher relationships, service to shared community values, and respect for the growth of self and others.
Statement of Philosophy
The school provides each student with a wide range of educational experiences that contribute to intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic, and ethical growth.
The school balances challenge and demand with support and encouragement. We cultivate in each student the confidence to experiment, think independently, and work cooperatively with others.
The school creates an atmosphere of intellectual excitement that inspires the inquisitive and self-directed mind. To support this ideal we provide students with the tools to organize, analyze, and interpret their cultural and intellectual heritage.
The school encourages the development of reflective citizens concerned with their physical, social, and political environments, and supports the development of character and personal values for all of our students. We strive to model the values to which we aspire and to encourage active service in the wider community.
The school stands committed to a multi-cultural environment. We foster an understanding of and a respect for people and experiences of diverse cultures.
The school’s liberal arts and sciences focus prepares graduates to gain entrance into colleges and universities commensurate with their interests and abilities.
The school develops in students the ability and desire to educate themselves beyond the limits of their formal education. Since we believe that learning is a life-long process, these principles provide the foundation and experiences to achieve that end.
