Aspen Academy Announces a New Middle School Scholarship Program

 Aspen Academy is excited to announce a special opportunity for student leaders entering grades five through eight.  Several need, performance, and leadership based scholarships have been funded as part of the middle school expansion project. 

The Middle School curriculum at Aspen Academy is designed to encourage the development of autonomous learners—students who have the basic skills and the curiosity to further their own intellectual, creative, and moral growth. Critical thinking, communication, collaboration, contextual learning and problem-solving are all emphasized.  By providing bright, motivated students with like-minded teachers and peers, a rigorous and imaginative curriculum, and the opportunity to push themselves in new directions, Aspen Academy’s Middle School creates an extraordinarily unique learning community.

Highlights include:

• Individualized math program, in which students have the opportunity to complete high school level mathematics courses
• Interdisciplinary approach to literacy, writing and social studies
• Lab driven science learning experience
• Comprehensive leadership development series culminating in a nationally ground breaking Entrepreneurial Leadership Development Series.
• Specialized teachers for all subjects
• Strong, supportive community environment
• Highest national and international academic standards
• Personalized Instruction Profiles based on ability levels, learning styles, and interests

Qualifications:

Scholarships are reserved for female students, newly entering Aspen Academy for grades 5 through 8 with a history of strong academic performance, proven character and leadership abilities, and a dedication to community strength.   Up to 75% scholarship will be funded depending on demonstrated need.
