Aspen Academy

For the past three years, our family has been deeply enriched by the Aspen Academy community. As parents of a kindergartener and a second grader, we've witnessed firsthand the exceptional dedication of the staff. What truly sets Aspen apart is the genuine warmth and support that permeates every aspect of the school. From the nurturing kindergarten teachers to the engaging second-grade educators, the staff create a learning environment where every child feels valued and inspired. Beyond the classroom, the strong sense of community fosters meaningful connections between families, creating a truly special and supportive atmosphere that we cherish.

My review is that of a grandparent who so far has seen my three grandkids spend a total of 7 years at Aspen. In a word, Aspen Academy is exceptional. When you reach the front door, you immediately see the difference from other private and public schools. You can't miss the lovable bear and the school's slogans/behavioral admonitions to "be kind, do good, work hard and make the world better." You'll likely see the presence of Greenwood Village police, too, which is comforting in these turbulent times. The administrator sets the school's progressive tone, the staff is nurturing, and the culture is inclusive. I love that the education is research-based and prepares my grandkids for a global society with robotics, a focus on entrepreneurship, and similar subjects. The curriculum is challenging, and add-ons run the gamut from chess to dance to sports and music. I've been engaged in the grandparents group, and there's a similar group for parents. This isn't a school to "drop off and forget" your children; parents are required to devote annual hours volunteering and being a part of the educational process. Easy 5 stars!

We have loved our experience at Aspen Academy thus far. I was concerned about my son switching schools, but he has absolutely thrived and has come home happy since day 1. The school does a wonderful job of creating a community - it's not just a school; it's a place for families to connect and bond in their children's place of learning. While the school's diversity overall is lacking, they do an excellent job of emphasizing cultural celebrations.

I am thrilled to share our experience with Aspen Academy. Finding a school where my daughter feels well cared for and included is vital, and Aspen Academy has exceeded our expectations!The beautiful campus creates a welcoming environment, and my daughter loves going to school each day. The course offerings are impressive, catering to various interests and learning styles and allowing her to explore her passions. What truly sets Aspen Academy apart is the amazing staff. The teachers and administration are compassionate and dedicated, ensuring every student feels valued and supported. My daughter receives an exceptional education that challenges her academically while providing emotional and social support.I highly recommend Aspen Academy to any parent seeking a nurturing and inclusive environment combined with a robust educational experience. We couldn't be happier with our choice!

We transferred our boys from Catholic school last year. They went into 3rd grade & 7th grade. We have been very impressed with the academics, the essential classes and, more importantly, we love the teachers. Their communication and the time they put in for every student and their family are so impressive, and they go above and beyond. A school where academics are challenging, but learning life skills, entrepreneurship, and how to be kind is so important in raising young adults. We feel very prepared for our son to enter into his freshman year, also at a private school with the academics that he has received in the last year and a half. I would highly recommend Aspen Academy for any child from preschool (opening soon) to K–8 as well as parents wanting to be supported by a fun and diverse community.

Our experience with Aspen Academy has been exceptional. The faculty and staff go above and beyond to create a nurturing, challenging, and inspiring environment. The small class sizes allow for personalized attention, ensuring that every student is seen, heard, and encouraged to reach their fullest potential. Academically, Aspen Academy sets the bar high, providing transformative curriculum that fosters critical thinking, creativity, and a true love for learning. Our girls have flourished academically and developed a stronger sense of confidence and curiosity.Beyond academics, the school embodies their values of "be kind, do good, work hard and make the world better" on a daily basis and offers an unparalleled sense of community. Our girls have felt so welcome and have seen tremendous growth in them in so many areas.We wholeheartedly recommend this school to any family looking for a transformative educational experience!

Aspen Academy is known for its innovative approach to education. The school does a wonderful job teaching character development and leadership. Their entrepreneurial program is outstanding. The teachers are fantastic and really care about the success of the kids. We started in middle school, and it was a very easy transition. The kids are friendly and welcoming, and the school has a strong community. We believe our children are well prepared for high school. It has been a fantastic four years, and we only wish we had started earlier at Aspen Academy.

Aspen Academy is the only school in Colorado to teach durable skills like empathy, resilience, and grit. The academics are rigorous, the teachers are generous with their time, and the culture is supportive and inclusive. The administrator leans into its mission every day. Both our children have developed into confident, capable, and kind human beings during their time at this remarkable school. We are grateful to have found it.

As a staff member, I must applaud Aspen Academy for recognizing where curriculums should be. The global age of our economy means our students need to be prepared as leaders. The dedication to leadership development is what puts Aspen ahead of the competition.
