Culture & Inclusivity

Colorado Academy is a community that cultivates student voice, respects individualism, and fosters learning.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity (DEI) work reinforces the philosophy, mission, heart, and practice of Colorado Academy. We understand that DEI practice is a cornerstone of a robust learning environment and social community. We value the complexity of our society—including the richness of each individual’s ideas, identities, backgrounds, orientations, expressions, abilities, and aspirations. As we learn from each other, we all benefit.
