OUR MISSION

Creating Curious, Kind, Courageous, and Adventurous Learners and Leaders

At Colorado Academy, this mission is more than the words we live by; it is a shared vision that unites our community, informed by more than 100 years of change, innovation, risk-taking, and growth. Our mission makes clear that the CA experience has always been about far more than educating our students—we are here to nurture individuals who aspire to transform themselves and nourish their communities.
