Colorado Academy

Welcome to the CA Admission Process
If you have never been to campus before, please call us at 303-914-2513 to arrange for a campus tour. We would like to introduce you to our school community.

The central ingredient to success at CA is a child’s insatiable desire to learn and try new things. With support from their home environment and the expertise of our faculty, CA students take advantage of the abundant opportunities for personal growth on our campus. Students also learn from each other, which is why we carefully craft the makeup of each class to provide an eclectic mix of talents, backgrounds, and perspectives.
Catherine Laskey, Director of Admission

Colorado Academy brings together exceptionally creative, inquiring minds from a variety of ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds throughout metro Denver. We seek to create a nurturing and challenging environment that promotes academic, social, and emotional growth for highly motivated students from Pre-Kindergarten through the twelfth grade. Colorado Academy does not discriminate in any of its programs, procedures or practices on the basis of age, color, disability, national or ethnic origin, political affiliation, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, military service, or other protected status.
