School profile

Overview

Denver Academy inspires and empowers a diverse group of learners through student-centered, differentiated, and transformative education. Founded in 1972, we sit on a 21-acre campus in Denver and welcome bright students in grades 2 through 12 whose learning profiles look a little different, including dyslexia, ADHD, and executive functioning differences.

Through in-depth diagnostic analysis and comprehensive evaluation, we uncover each student's learning style and build a unique learning profile that guides their instruction. With small classes of roughly 12 to 15 students, our expert faculty deliver a curriculum customized for the individual and the classroom, supported by assistive technology and our Campos SmartLabs for science, math, art, robotics, and technology.

We value each child's differences and strengths as much as their families do. In a non-judgmental environment grounded in respect, responsibility, and community, students build confidence, discover that learning can be fun, and graduate ready for college and beyond.
