I came to CA in 9th Grade and am currently a junior. From academics to arts to athletics, CA has it all. The teachers are so incredible and the students are very kind. I started the college prep process this year and am very excited for the next steps in my education. As for athletics, I am on CA's Varsity climbing team and love it. The coaches are very nice and it is so cool that we have a climbing gym on campus.

Colorado Academy is a great private school that currently is focusing on trying to expand its diversity and inclusion aspects. They focus heavily on the arts and giving the students some form of independence in making decisions for themselves and for the greater good of the community.

Most students at this school are subsidized for life from Estates and parents. I found CA little or no benefit to me after graduation.

If you are considering Colorado Academy you should stop, do a 180 degree turn, and run as long as Mike Davis is still the head of school. Dr. Davis is responsible for the homogenization of the teaching staff and student body with the full support of the board. Diversity is being actively removed fro...

My student attended this online platform 2019-2020 and I was very disappointed with the entire staff. Please note that this school is also known or owned by Astravo digital online school.
