DA promised me that I could let go of the tutors, the anxiety and that they would meet my son where he was with his dyslexia. They have kept that promise.

Denver Academy is a very nurturing environment that takes extraordinary effort to understand how best to teach your child. The teachers are amazing and the investment they have in their students is unmatched. Their training is exceptional and it is apparent everyday in the interactions my child has at school. He is truly blossoming there and LOVES going to school now.

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.

Financial aid application forbids all charitable giving. All funds must go to DAT. Revolving door of low quality teachers. DAT spits on the middle class—even the upper middle class.

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...
