CONNECT WITH OUR ASPEN ACADEMY PARENT COMMUNITY!

We understand that choosing the right school for your child can be both exciting and challenging, and it's natural to have many questions along the way. At Aspen Academy, we believe one of the best ways to learn about our school is by connecting directly with parents who are already part of our vibrant community! Meet some of our families who are eager to share their lived experiences, offer insights into daily life at Aspen, and answer any questions you may have. Whether you're curious about our programs, community spirit, or parent involvement, they are excited to connect with you!

About Me

I'm a mother of two daughters 5 and 3, and we are a family of two working parents, one in corporate Business Operations, myself running a Residential Real Estate business. We love the entrepreneurial curriculum that Aspen offers as it's what our children witness and experience in watching us progress in our careers. The community that this school offers to both students and parents is fun, welcoming and exciting. We love finding and meeting families that will hike, ski and experience all the wonderful things that CO has to offer with us!

About Me

Born in Michigan and having bounced between NYC and California throughout my adult life, we recently settled in Colorado and are loving the access to the outdoors. I have spent the majority of my career working in innovation, finance, and emerging technology (start-ups). The LiFE curriculum really hit home for me, as I understand its importance firsthand. We also love the school's emphasis on kindness and creating a community. Our son is thriving and has loved it from day one. It's a fun place to be and a wonderful group of people!

Interests/Extracurriculars of Child(ren)

My kids enjoy gymnastics, ice hockey, skating, lacrosse, soccer, biking, running and swimming. We live very close to the University of Denver and embrace all of the children's sports opportunities they have to offer. They also love music, art, math, cooking and playing with their friends!

About Me

I am the mom of two girls and a boy and there is never a dull moment in our house (which is how we like it!). I am a Director at the world's largest global law firm where I lead the companies proposal strategy and strategic client pursuits. Born and raised on the east coast, I was a D1 athlete and love to exercise, cook and be outside with my family. We transferred to Aspen Academy from our neighborhood public school when our oldest was going into 2nd grade and it was the smoothest and best decision we made. The school focuses on real world and practical academics and our children have grown in so many ways we can't even describe.

Interests/Extracurriculars of Child(ren)

Our child has thrived at the drama and music programs at school, where having a full theater is an amazing asset. She also loves art, gymnastics, hiking, biking, and cross-country running. She has built a great network of friends with dynamic interests and perspectives from around the country and world by attending Aspen Academy.

About Me

I work an an environmental non-profit and my husband is an architect. Our daughter has attended Aspen Academy for 6 years. We all love it. The school strongly promotes kindness and the tools for academic success. The focus on public speaking, financial literacy, and contributing to society are important life skills we don't see emphasized as much at other schools. We have been impressed by the depth of teacher experience, including for theater, music, STEM, art, and Spanish.

About Me

I am a clinical psychologist and retired Associate Professor of Psychiatry and my husband, Peter, is an attorney. Graelyn is our youngest child and has been enrolled at Aspen Academy since Pre-K. Our other children attended both private and public school (elementary through high school) so we have had a lot of different types of educational experiences as a family. We would be happy to help other families explore these comparisons. We find AA to be a safe, warm, loving environment with lots of fun things going on both inside and outside the classroom to keep our daughter engaged on a daily basis with school. We love the small classroom sizes and number of staff in the school especially.
