The teachers are exceptionally dedicated and the academic preparation is top-tier. The accelerated math and focus on research/writing gave my daughter a huge advantage in her current IB high school program. While there are no formal sports or band, they had a strong musical program, and the kids stay active in competitive sports outside of school. It's a special community that I highly recommend, especially if you are concerned your child will be bored at the neighborhood school."

"Immersion" happens twice a year, and involves a few days of "deep diving" into non-traditional subjects to accommodate the way gifted children tend to learn. The topics change each time, so there is a wide berth of opportunities. The take-home workload often matches the pace of the classrooms, and parent/adult involvement is important to the overall success of children as they grow and evolve. Our family has had a fantastic experience here.

This is a sweet kid who was scapegoated and mistreated in public school. Their response is to reject him? Bizarre and unfathomable.

I was very concerned with the lack of attention as well as other issues in general at the public school system. We took a tour of Aspen Academy in January 2019, and my child spent the day there shadowing other students in the kindergarten class. When I came to pick her up she was all smiles. Fast forward to today. My daughter has been in the first grade class at Aspen Academy for over half of the school year, and every day I pick her up she is smiling and wanting to tell me about everything that happened during her day. The school is innovative, welcoming, kind, inclusive, forward thinking and so much more. The parent community is strong and supportive. The overall student community is strong and supportive. This school is developing the leaders of today and the future. I always feel that no matter what arises, it will be attended to quickly and with kindness. A specific example is this time of the coronavirus - this school was so prepared for any situation that in less than 24 hours (i think actually 12), the school had all of its education online for school students to do virtual learning. The teachers were prepared and humble. The students were excited and happy to continue their learning. I cannot say enough about the school, it's teachers and it's founders. Aspen understands what children need to succeed, and they provide the resources, support and kindness to ensure that each child has the best possible experience.

Too bad, they have to get on stage and perform. Do they have test anxiety? Deal with it. The counselor seems involved and like he cares, but when it comes down to it he passes blame and plays as if he doesn't know what's going on and he wasn't involved in the group conversation. Once the administration makes up their mind, it doesn't matter what your child does, they have decided they want them out. Most of the parents are fine, but many seem very impressed with themselves.

Though our time with you was shorter than we expected, the impact this school had on my son's growth and development has been nothing short of incredible.

It takes a special kind of dedication, patience, and heart to do what you all do, and we have felt that in every interaction, every update, and every moment he spent in your care. Your nurturing environment gave him a strong foundation and helped prepare him for this next chapter. Our child is only leaving because we will be starting extra programming for him.
