About Prospect Academy

Prospect Academy is a tuition-free public charter school in Arvada for grades 3-8. Founded in 2022, it uses small classes of 10-15 students, groups learners by ability rather than only by grade, and uses Precision Teaching so students chart their own daily progress. Social-emotional learning is built into classroom routines rather than treated as a separate add-on.

The school enrolls students who need more one-on-one attention, a slower mastery-based pace, or explicit instruction in social-emotional and life skills. Common profiles include autism (levels 1 and 2), ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and executive functioning needs. A formal diagnosis is not required. Hands-on instruction and mastery-based progression are part of the daily model.
