Colorado Academy Reviews

 
This is an excellent school. Too few schools are as strategic and intentional about teaching kids according to how kids learn. They not only offer knowledge but teach kids how to learn. school.

As a high school student at Colorado Academy who came from the public school system, I have the utmost respect for CA as an academic institution. The CA Upper School has rigorous course-work, a rich history of tradition, an amazing faculty, an enriching extracurricular menu, and a very welcoming community. I highly reccomend it to any prospective family looking for a school in which to educate their family. Two thumbs up!

Brought our daughter to CA from a very good Jeffco public school. There is a world of difference in the classroom environment and the level our daughter is learning. Parents and teachers of CA students demand respect and hard work and they get just that. The teachers are not managing to children who can't behave in the classroom and as a result, they are focused on teaching. At CA, students get the full scope of school that is long gone. They have music, art and PE. We are not running our daughter all around town after school to give her those experiences and opportunities. Lastly, drive by a public school, see how the students react and look, then visit CA. A world of difference.

I was a student at Colorado Academy for many years. This is a wonderful school where in this increasinly litigious and sometimes repressively-PC era the education of the student is never compromised. We explored contenious or controversial ideas and learned how to form our own opinions. One could be different, raise an unusual point in an unusual way (I once gave a report about Chernobyl in iambic pentameter) and be included in the intellectual discussion. The teachers demanded more from their students than many of my college professors. It was a shock in my freshman English class to be given a specific paper topic to address after reading a novel--we moved passed that kind of hand-holding in the 9th grade! The teachers pushed us, we worked hard (I alloted ~2hrs/school week for TV--ER and Dawson's Creek) and we learned to critique, to analyse, to compose and to create.

A school for wealthy, mostly white families. Quality of teachers is good, but the school lacks any discipline and the faculty is disrespected by the administration. Kids get away with whatever they want as the parents believe that they get what they want because they pay for it. As a result, there is little if any disciplinary action taken. Basically, a school for spoiled brats.
