Culture & Inclusivity

Colorado Academy is a community that values and honors difference, and seeks to be a place where students of all ages, and families of all backgrounds are understood, represented, and highly regarded. Many people visit our campus and immediately notice our welcoming atmosphere, our engaged and engaging students, and the multi-age interaction that is fostered through our Pre-K through 12 student body. Our intentional work in creating an inclusive school community emphasizes both the joy of acquiring knowledge and the right to do so in a place where all students can become creative, independent, responsible, and ethical people.

Culture Project

Colorado Academy has undertaken a broad-reaching project to identify the defining and desired characteristics of our community. Parents, students, faculty, staff, and alumni have been integral to this work. Our culture project is focused on creating a group of students who are open to learning, change, failure, and improvement, and who have had significant opportunity to practice these skills.

Curriculum

Multiple social, national, historical, cultural, and political perspectives are represented in the CA curriculum in every grade, with an emphasis on both concepts and context. Topics are explored from many angles, from academia to the arts, and language studies include K-12 Spanish, 6-12 French, and 9-12 Mandarin.
