Dr. Julie Johnson visited our Middle School classes in early September to talk about her experience living in New York City during 9/11, and shared her perspective on history as the students talked about how the recounting of events can be affected by one’s own memory. Julie talked about how history and memory are intertwined, and how history helps shape memories and can make us more aware of the human experience.

In our ever-evolving world, diversity and inclusivity are fundamental values in education. At Aspen Academy, we take these values to heart and believe that every child is unique and capable of achieving greatness. We recognize that every student learns differently, and we view neurodiverse learning approaches as unique gifts that each individual brings to this learning environment.
