Aspen Academy Year End Letter 2026
Aspen Academy Year End Letter 2026
Kristina Scala

This was a year of real results — in the classroom, on the field, in our businesses, and in the relationships that make Aspen unlike any school you'll find.

Our students ran 19 businesses at the Entrepreneurs Expo, the most in our history, and generated our highest-ever revenue in Bear's Student Enterprises. They published their own video games. They launched service learning initiatives, donated 2,000 meals to the Food Bank of the Rockies, and raised funds for the Wild Animal Sanctuary.
