When he was in first or second grade, Nick Malick wanted to be the ice cream man; in high school, he thought he’d be a teacher; and later, in college, he studied philosophy and writing.

An experienced competitor, basketball coach, teacher, and administrator, not to mention the parent of a CA student-athlete who graduated in the Class of 2022, CA Interim Director of Athletics Jon Hill embraces the many roles he must play by zeroing in on the one truth that ties them all together: Athletics is about enabling people to be their best.

At the All-School Picnic, nearly 2,000 guests, fueled by back-to-school excitement, enjoyed a relaxed get-together whose dual centerpieces were Chef Paul Worley’s unending supply of barbecue favorites and the welcome chance for families to make connections that sustain the CA community year after year.

If there is one word that can distill the essence of Colorado Academy’s Lower School Music Program, that word is joy. From Pre-K through Grade Five, CA’s music teachers make it their mission to ensure that every child, in one way or another, has access to the joy that is music.

Throughout their time at CA, students in all three divisions learn that getting help from one of the school’s full-time counselors, a teacher, coach, peer, or other trusted figure is not just encouraged—it can be vital to their success.
