The Middle School program combines a strong academic curriculum with the care needed to grow students through the developmentally dynamic middle school years. Teachers in the Middle School work to support students’ growth as curious, kind, courageous, and adventurous leaders and learners. Students at CA benefit from small classes, high standards, robust arts and athletic offerings, and teachers’ intentional efforts to bring joy to daily school life. Learning at CA is not confined to the classroom, as students grow through our experiential interim program, outdoor education trips, clubs, service learning, and a plethora of field trips.
All faculty and staff at Colorado Academy are expected to carry out the CA Mission, "Creating Curious, Kind, Courageous, and Adventurous Learners and Leaders,” to support the vision of Colorado Academy, and to contribute to the life of the school outside of the classroom.
