Pre-K students must be 4 before September 1, 2023 and Kindergarten students must be 5 by September 1, 2023 to apply.

For Pre-K and Kindergarten admissions, we follow the September 1st date as a guide. Applicants within the cutoff date may be considered after review by the admissions committee.

In addition to your student's completed application, we require all applicants to provide additional documents including:

• Parent Statement: A short form parents complete that gives us more perspective on your student's strengths and family interests. 
• Teacher Recommendation*: Via our admissions portal, parents send confidential teacher recommendations for students who have been enrolled in a daycare or school previously.
• Report Card

*Aspen Academy uses a Common Recommendation Form to reduce the work for an applicant’s current teachers and school staff, in conjunction with several Denver-area independent schools. Once your prospective student's application is submitted, you will send teacher recommendation requests directly through our portal.
