The small class sizes and calm atmosphere have been life-changing for my child. They went from not wanting to attend school to excelling, growing confidence, and feeling comfortable. We are so grateful for Denver Academy !

The lower school staff is absolutely amazing - kind, compassionate, and caring. Though, I am grossly disappointed in the high school and their response to my child's bullying experience. They were callus, unsympathetic, and dismissive. Their treatment towards us was shocking and saddening. We are forever thankful for the lower school, but deeply disappointed and hurt by the high school.

School is very political driven and supports strong liberalism but refuses to support other political veiwpoints. Transgender, Pride Flags, Teachers wear BLM support shirts etc. My son was very dyslexic moved from a 2nd grade reading level to a 4.5 grade reading level. Attended 2 years, 7th grade teacher was amazing and trained OG. 8th grade teacher had no OG training and bad communication skills. If they could leave politics out of education and stop the bullying that seems to run rampant unless your "special" and keep their when it comes to helping dyslexia I would have put my kid in HS there even at the great sting of 36k a year.

DA has been the breakthrough our kids needed in academics, ultimately giving them self confidence and an excellent education. They struggled with dyslexia and we found no public schools that could help, having tried 3 different school districts. DA immediately turned things around for them in 5th an...

Because of Denver Academy’s administration, I learned a harsh truth of the real world: Those with more money have more doors opened up to them in their lives. And sometimes people like me who aren’t as wealthy are left behind. The purpose of this review is not to make the school look bad. Denver Aca...
