One of the best things about being at a school for 14 years is that there's always something to look forward to right around the corner.
Amongst many other things ...
Our Pre-K students look forward to hosting the annual "Festival of Joy"
Kindergartners are thrilled to meet their Senior Buddies.
First Graders can't wait for Primary Lab.
Second Grade students know they'll get to experience Woody's Pond for science.
CA Third Graders are excited about studying Colorado History, beginning with tracing how their families arrived here, and participating in field trips to the Plains Conservation Center, Colorado rodeo, and panning for gold.
Fourth Graders are already making plans for what they'll make for Mini Society.
Our Fifth Grade class is already anticipating the fun they'll have at the week-long trip to Crow Canyon in addition to being Mustang Mentors (and finally becoming Middle Schoolers next year!)
"I owe so much of the success that I have had thus far, and that I conceivably will continue to have in my future career, to what I got out of my CA education. The skills that I just believed served as a foundation, and were the baseline coming out of Colorado Academy, are truly special and rare."
Every Colorado Academy Senior completes a Community Impact Project, where they identify a need and volunteer time or raise awareness to have a positive impact.
Each December, Colorado Academy‘s Raether Library is transformed into a buzzing extravaganza of robots, drones, and virtual reality at the school’s Computer Science Festival.
With hugs, cheers, and tears, Colorado Academy marks many milestones every spring, as Kindergartners celebrate their move into Grade One in the Lower School, Fifth Graders move up to Middle School, and students from Eighth Grade are making plans for new challenges in high school.
Whether creating Star Wars-inspired lightning or meeting a Madagascar hissing cockroach, Family Fun Night at Colorado Academy Lower School has it all—families, fun, and more fun!
Each year, Colorado Academy’s Senior Class celebrates Commencement with all the customary traditions—white dresses, flowers, suits and ties, bright red diplomas, and personal tributes to each student.
Each December, Colorado Academy grandparents are invited to campus to enjoy remarks from the Head of School, musical performances, visits to classrooms to see their grandchildren in action, and a holiday lunch.
Colorado Academy celebrates Halloween with an Upper School costume contest and the legendary Lower School parade, a favorite tradition at CA for decades.
PlatFORUM provides time and space to share voices, experiences, and ideas around issues of social justice and inclusivity, and to move the CA Upper School community from dialog into action.
Many students say their favorite Colorado Academy tradition is the Senior-Kindergarten Buddy Program, because it allows them to connect with the next generation of CA students.
Each year on the first day of school, the Seniors greet the Freshman class with great enthusiasm and excitement on as they first enter the Upper School.
The annual Taste of CA: A Celebration of Cultures, is a fantastic event that brings together the CA community to enjoy home-made food and festivities from around the world.
