About Victory Preparatory Academy
Victory Preparatory Academy is the middle and high school half of a PK-12 public charter network in Commerce City that began in 2004 with Community Leadership Academy, our elementary school. Together the two schools serve more than 600 students, and enrollment is open to families regardless of where they live.
We offer a liberal arts education with an emphasis on STEM, engineering, and business and entrepreneurship, built to carry students from elementary fundamentals toward specific career goals. Expectations are high: students carry homework almost every day and academic packets over breaks. Our calendar runs on a four-day week, Tuesday through Friday. More than half of our students are English language learners, and we provide English language development alongside gifted and special education services.
Students ride free buses within the Adams 14 boundaries and receive free hot breakfast, lunch and snacks through the USDA program. Outside class, Knights play soccer, basketball and other sports and take part in student government, yearbook, the newspaper and scholar ambassadors. The school is authorized by the Colorado Charter School Institute.
