Bus Transportation

Colorado Academy provides round-trip bus transportation on 10 Metro Denver routes.

Nearly 44% of the K-12 student body rides the CA bus. Our bus service allows students from all over the Denver Metro Area to attend CA and promotes CA’s sense of community. 

NOTE: Due to licensing restrictions, Pre-K students are not allowed to ride the bus.

Carpooling

Finding a carpool with another CA family works well for families who live near each other or whose students are involved in the same before-/after-school activities. There are two tools that CA families can use to set up carpools:

  • The CA Directory: CA families may log in to the CA website and select “Directories” from the top navigation menu, then “Students.” The filtering tools enable searches by grade level, city name, and/or Zip code.
  • CA’s SchoolPool Feature: This free mapping tool is created in conjunction with DRCOG and is available to CA families each year in mid-August.
