About Morgridge Academy

Morgridge Academy is a K-8 school designed for children whose medical needs have led to school absences and interrupted learning. As part of National Jewish Health, a leader in pediatric allergy, immunology, and pulmonary care, we nurture the medical, educational, emotional, and physical needs of each student through rigorous, authentic learning experiences.

We are the only school of our kind on a hospital campus in the United States. Tuition is free, all teachers hold master's degrees with special education certification, and our staff includes full-time registered nurses, a school social worker, a child advocate, and physical education and fine arts teachers. Small class sizes allow for individual attention in a nut-free, medically safe environment.

Students at Morgridge Academy learn strong academics aligned with grade-level standards while gaining the skills and confidence to manage their own health. Children miss less school, learn to self-advocate for their medical needs, and receive free allergy-safe breakfast and lunch monitored by a registered dietitian.

At Denver Children's Home, Bansbach Academy serves as a key component in the holistic care of children and teens, offering a therapeutic, educational environment that promotes both academic achievement and personal growth. Accredited by AdvancED and the Colorado Department of Education, we integrate core academics with programs designed to support social-emotional development, self-sufficiency, leadership, and character building. Classes are intentionally kept small, with an average of 8 to 10 students, enabling personalized attention from our special education teachers, who work alongside Youth Treatment Counselors so each student receives tailored support. Students participate in core academic subjects including math, language arts, social studies, science, health, and physical education, while also engaging in programs that promote life skills and character development. Our goal is to equip students with the academic skills, social-emotional tools, and coping strategies they need to succeed in a public-school setting and beyond. Through individualized instruction, therapeutic support such as equine, art, and music therapy, and hands-on learning experiences, we help students build a foundation for future success, both academically and personally.
