I think it is wonderful that there is still a school out there that not only has all of their arts departments still, but that has a fine arts program as well. It is so important for kids to have those options in school. We have also had a very wonderful experience with the teachers and other staff.

Incorporating the Arts into school curriculum only contributes to the skills of math, reading and writting. Allowing a child to explore and expand is what CAFE is all about!

This school has put art education front and center instead of taking it away like many schools now are doing. It's important for young children to be exposed to music and art to be more well-rounded as responsible adults contributing to a successful society.

I have been thoroughly impressed with the level of professionalism at Centennial. The teachers and staff all seem to work in a school for the right reasons. I am so thankful my Son has had such a positive first experience with school in kindergarden this year.

This school has created an atmosphere in which students go beyond regular academic curriculum. They are given opportunities to explore what is missing in education today--the creative nature of themselves in a fine arts environment. What an amazing concept that could potentially change that child's world going forward! While the rest of the schools are not doing so well even teaching the basics successfully, we can see a joyful expanded education being implemented at Centennial Academy of Fine Education! They are brilliant and obviouly care about giving the best opportunities for success for All the students! Bravo! (I am a retired teacher and my grandchildren are all in elementary schools, but this one is the best!)

Teaching staff is wonderful

my daughter has been at this school since pre-school. she is in 4th grade now. we have moved several times up to 20 miles away but keep her at Centennial because it is the best. She loves all her teachers and cries at the end of the year because she does not want a new teacher but then ends up loving the new one just as much as the old ones. The staff there treats you like family.

Centennial looks at children as individuals. They reallize that children learn and grow in different ways and speeds. the emphasis on the arts has helped my son focus and explore who he is and who he wants to be. the staff are caring and positive; they really make you feel part of your child's education.

It is a school where every child is valued. The education offered there, though already great, is constantly striving to improve and be relevant and valuable to the child.

My children are getting the most spectacular education and getting piano lessons, guitar lessons, and art classes that they would not get in your typical public school.

I love their unique Fine Arts Program. It is superb! They offer more fine arts than most colleges to K-5th graders. I also love their positive behavior program and diversity.

Centennial is an amazing school full of caring teachers and administrators. They do an excellent job of combining academics and fine arts. Their fine arts program (with little current funding) is outstanding! Kids and parents alike LOVE this school!

We have the best kids, the best families, and the best staff EVER! Plus, our kids are treated to excellent programs academically and artistically -- with opportunities during the school day for band, violin, piano, dulcimers, choir, theatre, tap dance, enriched visual arts, and more.

This is a school with more than 45% of its children below poverty level and it still struggles and strives to maintain a curriculum on par with other schools in the area and provides an excellent education to its students.

The hard working students, caring teachers, and the Fine Arts program!
This review was posted by a teacher.

Centennial by far is the best elementary school in littleton colorado. I believe that the focus on education should involve more of the Fine arts, which centennial provides. I feel that students learn more when music and theatre and art are involved in thier education.

My daughter loves it, and is blooming there.

Centennial has an extended day to provide every child with either art or music education every single day. The teachers are fantastic and work hard to make sure every child can excel at their own level.

Committed teachers, happy students, and a arts and music focus
This review was posted by a parent.

Centennial Academy offers an extended day in order to provide arts and music education. The importance of art and music seems to be lost in many schools, Centennial Academy is focused on education in these areas as well as standardized education, consequently they produce students who are very well-rounded and much happier overall.

We decided on Centennial after looking at several in the area. The staff is happy, experienced, and engaged with the kids. Now our Kindergartner is having fun and has learned to read (I sure didn t teach her that). We are very happy to be at Centennial.

Simply the BEST office and nursing staff in all of Colorado.

There are many wonderful things about Centennial such as parent involvement and the fine arts program. The special education program is excellent. Having a full day kindergarten is a big benefit for parents of children entering the school system. I dislike the 'everyday' math program adopted by the school because it does not concentrate on the building blocks of math, the facts. The reading program is not purely based on phonics but is a combination of phonics and sight recognition. I feel that the higher grades had better instruction although this opinion is based on my experiences. In all fairness, my children did not have every teacher. The quality of the instructors varies drastically. I am perplexed by the number of out of district enrolled students. This is an average school academically. if you are interested in your child receiving an 'art' education, this is the place for you.

School has teachers who really care about the students academic learning. They have a wonderful music and arts program. Each student gets to choose from a long list of fine arts classes. There are plenty of parents nights to see the children perform what they learned each semester. A great school starting from the principal down to the wonderful parent who give their time.
