LETTER FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL DIRECTOR
Welcome to Aspen Academy Middle School, where we embark on an exciting journey of growth, discovery, and achievement! As the proud director of this vibrant educational community, I am thrilled to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to our students, parents, and faculty. At our core, we value kindness, the power of doing good, and the importance of hard work. These values shape the foundation of our school culture and guide our interactions, making Aspen’s Middle School a place where every child can thrive and reach their full potential.
Our belief in the uniqueness of every child drives our commitment to teaching with the whole child in mind. We understand that academic success is just one facet of a well-rounded education. Our dedicated faculty and staff are passionate about fostering not only academic excellence but also social and emotional growth. We aim to create an environment where learning is not only engaging but fun. We encourage curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning, so that students are not just prepared for the challenges of middle and high school but are also equipped with the skills and mindset to succeed in life.
I am eager to witness the incredible growth and accomplishments that each of our students will achieve during their time here. Together we will make this middle school journey a memorable and fulfilling experience for your child. Please reach out to me should you need anything.

We're thrilled to announce our Associate Head of School for our 2024-2025 school year.
The vision for any great athletics program should include character development in tandem with skill development. Aspen Academy offers multiple opportunities for young athletes to grow in their athletic skills and more importantly, their leadership skills as they become exposed to different levels of competition.
As one of the best independent schools in Denver, we evaluate our Communication and Literacy curriculum every five years, which allows us to find the most hands-on, interactive, and applicable materials possible for the continued success of our students. Part of that evaluation is also creating engaging opportunities for our families related to academic subjects. Our Communication and Literacy team created a Family Literacy Night supporting the continued learning of students -- and parents -- while making reading and literature even more fun and interactive for our learners.
Kudos to our student athletes who demonstrated "Work Hard" in spades as part of our fall 2023 season!
