So far so good! My 5 year old starts kindergarten this and with everything in the world going on I…read morewas really hesitant to place him in a physical school instead of schooling him online atound my work schedule. After a lot of research I applied for collegiate and we were accepted. Before enroll jefco even notified my Megan was contacting me to guide me, answer questions, be of any assistance and set up a walk-through to check out the school. During the enrollment process she checked in and updated me frequently. At registration completion they had everything organized and the entire staff was helpful, friendly and welcoming. Another reason I was interested in this school is the class sizes, they are small allowing note attention to my childs learning with the teachers not having to focus on 16 students at a time. My son loses interest quickly if he isnt involved or doesnt feel included so I look forward to the advancements he will make with his teacher and 8-11 fellow classmates. Im grateful to be apart of this community so far and having my son in a school I feel comfortable with leaving him at during the day was my main priority. Will update my review as we get more into it.

My son attended this school for one year as an eighth grader after having moved from another state…read moreinto CO during the summer. In my opinion, it was a great fit for him after having had multiple life changes over the previous few years. (divorce, multiple moves, so on) The small class sizes here allow teachers to gain a perspective on students that a typical classroom, quite simply, probably wouldn't allow. I thoroughly appreciated the insights teachers provided during P/T conferences. They gave not only academic but social insights into my son's life that I would not have otherwise had. (Don't tell him I said that ) Having said all of that, he decided to go to elsewhere for his high school years. Whether or not it's a good decision for him remains to be seen. In any case, I would urge parents (and their students!) to consider Collegiate Academy. As parents we must help our kids decide what is best for them at a given time. The beauty of Jeffco is this ability to have options. We haven't had this option presented so cleanly to us in any other school system. Please check them out.

Our child is absolutely THRIVING at Mackintosh and has become a more confident person since…read morestarting at Mack over a year ago. Like many kids, my son was apprehensive about changing schools, but within a month he realized that he was where he belonged, and now he tries to spend every extra minute he can at school attending before or after school clubs. The International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum is an excellent basis for in-depth education and exploration, but the true strength of Mackintosh is the amazing teaching faculty and staff. All of the teachers seem to love their jobs and their students and with the low student/teacher ratios, the teachers truly know the kids and how to elicit their best thinking and work. Like all learners, gifted students have strengths and weaknesses, and the teachers are able to offer broad enrichment to support a student's strengths as well as support and scaffolding for a student's challenge areas. They are able to support a learner who may be three years ahead in math, but who finds writing a struggle. The teachers are willing to differentiate instruction and assignments and meet students where they are and gently push them to grow and believe in their abilities. Some more things that I love about the school: amazing grade-level theatrical performances, multi-day nature-based field trips for the older grades, outside lunch as weather allows, and a well-rounded curriculum that includes PE every day, plus either performing or visual arts every day and a period every day that is split between Spanish some days and design others. I wish more kids could experience a Mackintosh education. I saw some comments about bullying. I am not personally aware of any bullying at the school, and I haven't had any parents share any bullying experiences with me. Also, I haven't experienced any "cliques" among the parents. Everyone seems very nice and genuine. If you have a gifted learner who would benefit from a warm, enriching, education, we strongly recommend that you consider Mackintosh Academy.

My daughter went to Mackintosh. I believe Mackintosh was instrumental in her development. They…read morereally work hard on teaching students the why, the how, and they emphasize on "critical thinking" , evaluating arguments, and analyzing information (areas other schools don't have time or resources for) We also were lucky the school created a "heritage Spanish" class for a few kids like my daughter who were raised bilingual. Maria Cardona was in charge of creating from scratch the curriculum for a handful of kids for a few years. My daughter improved in her writing and reading comprehension a lot. The topics covered during all those years touched on many areas so I'm very appreciative of Maria Cardona's creative curriculum and patience throughout those years. We also had very good experiences with all classes, from advanced math, to art, and everything in between. I'm sure that will be key for my daughter's high school and college future

My daughter has been dancing here for almost 4years now and we couldn't be happier!! I stumbled…read moreacross this studio by mistake and feel very lucky:) This was her first year of doing company and she has made some great friends and really enjoyed dancing this year. I was reading some of the reviews and decided I needed to write one. People are so quick to take to internet with negative comments and I think sometimes we forget how important the good comments are. We have had a lot of people leave company this year as one of the reviews has said. I'm not sure of all the reasons. I do know that time after time this year I have watched these kids rally together and hold their heads high and pick up right where they left off. They have remained positive and have continued to work very hard. I'm thankful that these kids are surrounded by such wonderful teachers that have set the example. They have taught these kids to not give up on themselves or each other. These are important lessons that I'm thankful my daughter is seeing from somewhere other than home ;) I actually think that having these families walk out on our kids after they have worked so hard on all these dances through out the year has made them stronger!! It really is our kids that have taken the hits, not us. They are finding out what they are truly capable of, and man are they doing great!! Some of these dances have never looked better!! And as to the comments about Rachelle's kids always being front and center and having more opportunities than our kids. They are both incredible dancers and yes they do have advantages over my daughter... They have been raised by a dancer to be dancers. If all of our kids were being raised by dancers we wouldn't need these great teachers to help our kiddos;) I wish so much some of these reviewers knew how hard to is to be a business owner and a mom. These comments hurt, and at the end of the day we all want what's best for our kids, we all have the same goals for our kids.

Very disappointed in the way that Mike Davis and the Board have dealt with COVID. While other local…read moreschools are normalizing, they are telling parents that kids will be wearing masks and social distancing when school begins in August, 2021. By then, most high-risk folks will have been vaccinated. But, CA continues to put the needs of others over the social and emotional wellbeing of their students. There's talk that the kids will be able to "vaccinate their way out of wearing masks and social distancing in the fall." Some parents are not interested in this possibility until more information about vaccinating younger people becomes known. If you don't want to vaccinate your younger students, I'd look into another school.
